Derek Uzzell Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The “Bear Lock” system is advertised here https://www.niedzwiedz-lock.pl/locks/gear-locks/ http://future-partners.co.uk/ If the Bear Lock system was engaged when the VW California was stolen and hte theves had not acquired the key necessary to disengage it, presumably the California needed to be ‘lifted’ to steal it. This Metropolitan Police link https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/theft-of-a-vehicle/vehicle-attracting-thieves/ warns 5. Watch for illegal tow trucks Thieves often attempt to lift vehicles from the street, literally. So, if you see a towaway crew acting suspiciously – especially if their vehicle isn’t branded or if they’re not in uniform – then please report it immediately. As with every report of suspicious behaviour made in good faith, we’ll never blame anyone for calling us if it proves unfounded. Car parks with height-restricted entrances help prevent illegal tow trucks and removal vehicles. And fitting a Thatcham rated category 1 or 2 alarm system with tracking, immobilisation, anti-grab and movement sensors can help protect and trace your vehicle.

Hans Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Splendid and exellent comment. Thank you Derek. It is a very redundant safety system. So on a motorhome 3.5 T and up it is good. investment for the ease of mind. Have you been to France Yet ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
