Who said crime doesn't pay?

I can see why they do it. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. And I bet there are many more vehicles they stole that they haven't been caught for, due to the lack of evidence.
Scumbags the lot of them.

At the end of the report, the police are recommending that owners of expensive cars fit a steering wheel lock. Why don't the police make recommendations to the manufacturers to stop this happening in the first place?

Scumbags. From what I know with JLR cars is that keys from the dealers come unprogrammed and need to be programmed to the vehicle. The keys they were obtaining from the dealers were for bmw's as they come ready to start on certain models. The scumbags have a programmer made in Bulgaria that can manipulate the central locking from outside the vehicle to open it and then sit in the vehicle and program a key bought off the internet. I've watched it done on cctv at a friends car sales pitch when they took his 63 plate vogue in around 6 minutes from start to finish. Luckily the car was found in Portsmouth inside a container. 16 model year yulong white autobiography
