BMW X5 Stolen

Nothing he’s posted has supported his claim that manufacturers intentially make cars easier to steal in NA so they can sell more cars. Wow he posted some stats to try and confuse you and make it seem like it supports his arguement. And then said that he’s been to England, so he must be an expert on it. I have British citizenship, a British passport and my brother currently lives in London England, how can I be wrong?!?! :rolleyes:

Also he dodges the fact that it’s the same manufacturers here as in Britain, so it doesn’t matter if the models they sell are different, they’re the ones who want to make money. Why make them easy to steal here, but not in Europe?

Example of how his stat of decressed car theft in 2004 are meaningless for his arguement

All cars but one are from before 1998, and I’m pretty sure the '03 dodge ram isn’t a big seller in Britain. Are the exact same manufacteres recalling old cars in Britain to install security systems??

Arguing over the internet about this stuff becomes so redundant and boring, you wont convince anyone, people pick and chose what to respond to. You save a lot of time simply pointing out how wrong you think they are and commenting on the ugly stickers they have on their skyline, then spending ages getting nowhere by arguing over the internet.
