They took it to a spot some three miles away. Police said they left
there to see if it was being tracked. If it was still there a couple of
days later, they'd move it on.


Many years ago, on this very forum, somebody suggested a good DIY project
was to knock up a device which exploded when 3 or 4 of it's kind were
gathered within a few yards, and fitting them to "Hobby" type touring
caravans (if you know what they look like, you'll know why ...).

Rather than **** around with "is it/isn't it" worry over tracking, surely
the easiest thing to do is to drive the vehicle into a Faraday cage and
thence into a Faraday barn ?

They are called "containers" .... all to commonly used by motorbike
stealing scrotes.
