Proper punishments needed.
Wrong
If the miscreants are not caught, the severity of punishment is irrelevant.
Further, if the micreants think they will not be caught, or think they will not suffer your severe punishment, or do not know what it is, or how it will apply to them, it is irrelevant.
On the other hand, if the miscreants know, or believe, that they are pretty sure to be caught and punished, the punishment does not need to be overly severe.
On a completely different topic, very few rapists end up in prison.
What would you have done andy ?

When we lived in Sydney it was common practice to remove the HT lead when parked outside a bar or restaurant even in the good parts of the cityMy escort vans I used to pull the ht lead off from the coil every night
for hot what I had done one morning as van would not start
on my cobra I had cut off switches
main battery with removable key
and a switch on the fuel pump
you could have a quick release steering wheel as well
cobra being a convertible/ open top of course

The severity of the punishment for a criminal should increase with each offence; e.g. first offence three months prison, second offence six months, third offence twelve months and so on. This should be applied even where an offence is less serious than the previous one. There should be no "halving" of sentences. This way, criminals will either give up the life of crime or be locked up away from the public for a good amount of time thus keeping the country protected and reducing the police's workload.
The car thieves mentioned in this thread will have committed several offences in the past, and will most likely have been arrested for various crimes - and probably let off. With the proper sentencing described above they would not have been at large.

I bought a dashboard switch same as the others on the dash from Ford and fitted it into a blanked off space next to heated rear window switch in brother's Sierra. As it was an identical switch it blended in with the other dash switches. I then wired it into the lt side of coil.
One night I was lying in the bath with window open and could hear someone trying to start a car. They were turning it over and over, then I suddenly realised it was my brother's car parked outside the house. I raced out of the house in my pants, grabbing a carving knife from the kitchen as I went. Unfortunately the two scrotes had given up and started legging it up the road. They were younger and faster than me so escaped. One damaged door and broken ignition, but at least we still had the car.

Just like immigration, the politicians talk tough when they want votes, but forget to do anything about it when elected. Free drugs is the answer to crime. Let the clowns get off their t*ts all day on smack if they want - provided by the state. Crime will reduce dramatically overnight.
I found the same when I was showing a mate how they worked on my Evoque. In the end I disabled it - all I was hearing was keyless Range Rovers and Kuga's getting nicked.
I've heard they can wear out as well.
Luckily our Kuga has manual keyfob and double tap to deadlock.
One got stolen up my street, I bet they tried ours too..
Brave words to whip up the Daily Wail segment.

John you missed the point again. The miscreants will have already been caught in the past several times and let off with no punishment. Had they been properly punished they would either be a) reformed or b) locked up - either way not commiting more crime.
In any town or city in this country the police know who the criminals are.
more likely not.
For every thousand thefts from cars, how many successful prosecutions are there? How often do the police do more than issue a crime number for the insurance, and NFA?
When the Conservative Government cut police numbers by 20,000, did that help?
How many rapists are imprisoned per thousand rapes?
