EXCLUSIVE Moment car gang drive off in owner's 'unstealable' £183k Range Rover - that he'd had for TWO days

An Englishman who had his luxury SUV stolen from his driveway less than 60 hours after driving it home claims the dealership assured him that the vehicle was “unstealable”.

John, a 45-year-old man from Warwickshire, UK, bought a £183,000 ($227,000) Range Rover 2024 SV Edition One from a dealership in Coventry on December 14, last year.

 The limited edition SUV (only 550 units were released in the United Kingdom) featured £10,000 graphite wheels, a luxurious high-tech interior, and all sorts of interesting features, like seats that vibrate to the sound of music playing inside the car. 

John knew that it would attract unwanted attention in a country where the number of luxury vehicle thefts have been increasing in recent years, but he claims the dealership told him that the car featured a new Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) security upgrade that made it unstealable.

Less than 60 hours later, John’s car was stolen from his driveway.

(Two of the thieves were captured on a neighbour's CCTV walking down the street towards John's property shortly before 1am (note: time is wrong on CCTV due to clock being on BST)

A driver dropped off three men at the top of John's street shortly before 1am. Two men walked directly to his house with the other one standing watch across the road. 

It is not immediately clear what technique the thieves used to gain access to the vehicle but after gaining entry to the car one man sat in the driver's seat while the other worked on it. 

He said: 'We live in a croft, one way in, one way out, so it's very quiet with no through traffic. I woke up at 3am and saw several missed calls from the tracking company, I looked out of the window and my car was gone.'
