Had the car been parked contrary to the Highway Code,(as was the vehicle adjacent to it ) the access wheel would have been on the "offside" thus putting the scum in an extremely dangerous position in relation to passing traffic.
Worth thinking about.
You are right but this is a two way road so not possible to park in opposite direction.

Here is a video of my car being stolen in a similar fashion. Shocking to see how easy it is for them. It seems they are able to extract and cut the wires and possibly using wireless attachment to turn on the car.

H,
My car (rx450) was stolen in South London at 4 am on 27 01 2023. It was on the main road under the lights. I heard a guy banging near the tyre. I thought they are looking for a catalytic convertor. Once i heard the bang i checked the camera and called the police straight away. I did not know they were using this method to unlock the car. Never heard about wheel arch can bust. The police did not even bother to chase properly as usual and said they cannot do anything about it. Unfortunately i did not have a tracker.
It is a shame that police could have checked lexuses near by as the car did not go far and only flashed one ANPR. If there was a vehicle with a damaged wheel arch it could have been spotted. Very disappointed with this. The car even had a steering wheel.
Also a big company like Lexus should develop a system like Tesla where they should just disable the car completely unless the part is changed through an authorised dealer. I think it is just too easy for thieves in UK and north America to steal things from individuals.
45 Seconds to steal my 450 !

True. As long as the security forces take a soft approach to car theft this will remain a nightmare for most car owners.
