Stolen Cars UK 2025: The Essential Guide for Used Car Buyers
Why This Matters More Than You Think If you've ever bought a second-hand motor in Britain, you'll know the ritual. A bit of friendly chatter with the seller. Pop the bonnet, nod approvingly. Prod the tyres as if you're checking for secrets. But here's the cold truth: none of that will save you if the car you're eyeing was nicked three months ago in Birmingham and is now wearing cloned plates from a quiet street in Kent. The only real safety net? Running a proper history check — ideally starting with a free car check before you even think about handing over cash. Optional? Not in this climate. 1. The UK's Theft Problem in Black and White We're not talking urban myth. The numbers are real—and grim. • 61,343 vehicles stolen in 2024, per DVLA figures. • That's roughly 168 cars a day—about one every 8½ minutes. • A modest 6% drop from 2023, but still far higher than before the pandemic. • Less than half of stolen vehicles are ever recovered. Once gone, many cars are chopped for parts or shipped abroad before the owner's had time to make a brew. 2. The Crooks' Favourites Some models are practically theft invitations. Year after year, the list barely changes. Most Stolen Cars in 2024 1. Ford Fiesta – 4,719 stolen 2. VW Golf – 1,946 3. Ford Focus – 1,855 4. BMW 3 Series – 1,415 5. Toyota RAV4 – 1,452 6. Mercedes C-Class – 1,362 7. Range Rover Evoque – 1,284 8. VW Polo – 1,211 9. Audi A3 – 1,175 Qashqai – 1,124 Own a Fiesta in a high trim like Zetec or Titanium X? Statistically, you're more at risk than your neighbour with a six-year-old Micra. 3. Where the Risk Runs Highest According to official data, some postcodes see far more theft than others. • London – 11.8 thefts per 1,000 registered vehicles • West Midlands – 7.7 per 1,000And within those, certain districts have a reputation that's been earned over years. If you're parking overnight in Aston (Birmingham) or Tottenham (North London), it's fair to assume someone's watching — and not in a neighbourly way. 4. The Methods in 2025 Forget joyriding for kicks. This is organised, profitable and alarmingly slick. • Relay attacks – Extending the signal from your key fob so they can open and drive off in under 60 seconds. • OBD hacking – Plugging into the diagnostics port to code a fresh key.• Container exports – Disappearing into shipping crates bound for Eastern Europe, Africa or the Middle East. The whole job can be done before you've finished stirring sugar into your tea. 5. Why a History Check is Non-Negotiable A proper check isn't about box-ticking — it's about spotting trouble before it costs you. With Reg Plate Check, you can: • Flag a stolen VIN instantly • Detect cloned number plates • See if finance is still owed • Spot insurance write-offs • Uncover mileage tampering This isn't paranoia. It's self-defence. 6. One Painful Lesson A man in Manchester thought he'd found a bargain BMW 3 Series last year. One month later, ANPR cameras pinged it as stolen from Surrey. The plates were clean. The VIN wasn't. Police took the car there and then. He got neither the motor nor his money back. A free check could have stopped it before it started. 7. Keep What's Yours Even the sharpest history check can't stop a future theft — so stack your defences. • Steering lock – Looks old-school but still puts thieves off. • Faraday pouch – Stops keyless fobs being 'read' from outside your house. • Tracker or immobiliser – Both slow thieves down and help police find your car.• Smart parking – Well-lit and overlooked beats a dark side street every time. 8. Before You Buy Run through this before you sign or pay: 1. Run the reg through Reg Plate Check. 2. Match VINs on the logbook, windscreen, and chassis. 3. Check MOT history for sudden mileage drops. 4. If it smells dodgy — walk away. No deal is worth the risk. The Bottom Line Car theft in Britain is fast, smart and, too often, consequence-free for the criminals. But you can swing the odds back in your favour. Start with a proper car history report. Use the free checks. Layer your security. And keep your investment exactly where it belongs — on your driveway, not in a container heading for another continent. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Molotov cocktails, homeland security impersonation: Indiana man sentenced in federal case
An Anderson man will serve over five years for possessing Molotov cocktails and impersonating Homeland Security, according to the Southern District of Indiana's Attorney's Office. Joshua Stearman, 42, was sentenced to 65 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release after homemade firebombs, called Molotov cocktails, were found in his Toyota RAV4, officials said. 'Thanks to the swift actions of local law enforcement and the expert analysis of our federal partners," said the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, Tom Wheeler, "this dangerous individual was stopped before he could carry out a potentially deadly attack.' Officers were dispatched around 1:47 a.m. on Dec. 12, 2023 after a suspicious man was seen outside a house in Ingalls, Indiana that had been vandalized and set on fire twice. A witness saw Stearman approach the house holding something, then flee to his SUV when security lights went on. When Ingalls police confronted Stearman, officials said he was wearing black gloves with duct tape around his wrists. He presented them with a fake government ID and told them he was a Homeland Security Officer returning from a mission. Officers found a lighter and four Molotov cocktails in his car. It is generally illegal to possess Molotov cocktails under federal law, officials said.
