The order to look at a used coach in — so you know what it's worth before
anybody says a number.
This video breaks down a wave of caravan and motorhome thefts across Britain that has left police struggling, with charge rates hovering around just two percent of reported cases. The ten models covered include the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Relay, Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Transporter, Ford Transit Custom, touring caravans, keyless tow vehicles like the Range Rover Sport, and a tracked Auto-Trail motorhome whose recovery story closes the video. The core method is not broken glass or hot-wiring but rather the OBD diagnostic port under the dashboard, relay attacks on keyless entry fobs, and network splicing through headlight wiring. The video explains why the factory immobilizer described in your owner's manual does not protect against these techniques, traces the rapid growth of cheap programming tools, and covers the British law change in April 2025 that finally made carrying such devices a criminal offence. Practical steps for owners of American ProMasters and Sprinter-based Class B vans are included throughout.
