Nationwide, Land Rovers are currently being stolen at a rate of more than one a week and police are urging owners to take special care over securing their vehicles, perhaps fitting good-quality steering wheel and pedal locks to deter thieves.

British-built and to a design dating back to 1948, the four-wheel-drive Land Rover is still a popular choice with farmers and country dwellers for its 3.5 tonne towing capacity and off-road abilities.

The utility Defender models and earlier Discovery type are particular targets. Details of many of the stolen vehicles can be found online at: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f43/
