  Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely

  Speeding off1 in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch2. But he is in a nasty3 surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer, and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine____1____ , he will not be able to start it again.

  For now, such devices____2____ only available for fleets of trucks4 and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars5,and____3____ be available to ordinary cars in the UK____4____ two months.

  The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car incorporates6____5____ miniature cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS7 satellite positioning receiver.____6____ the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine____7____ restarted.

  There are even plans for immobilizers____8____ shut down vehicles on the move8, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.

  In the UK, an array of9 technical fixes10 is already making____9____ harder for car thieves. The pattern of vehicles crime has changed, says Martyn Randall of Thatcham, a security research organization based in Berkshire11 that is funded in part____10____ the motor insurance industry.

  He says it would only take him a few minutes to____11____ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools12. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

  Modern cars are a far tougher proposition13, as their engine management computer will not____12____ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out14 by the iginition key. In the UK, technologies like this____13____ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime15 since 1997.

  But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owners keys in a burglary. In 2000, 12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken by using the owners keys, which doubles the previous years figure.

  Remote-controlled immobilization system would____14____ a major new obstacle in the criminals way by making such thefts pointless. A group that includes Thatcham, the police, insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the____15____ expects.
