  Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely

  Speeding off in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch。.But he is in a nasty 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 trucks。 and specialist vehicles used on construction sites.But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars.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 incorporates。 _5_ miniature cellphone,a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS 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 move,though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.

  In the UK.an array of technical fixesⅢ 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 Berkshire 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 tools.But only if the cal- is more than 10 years old.

  Modern cars are a far tougher proposition,as their engine management computer will not _12_ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key.In the UK,technologies like this _13_ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle- related crime since 1997.

  But determined criminals ore 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 using the owners keys double the previous years figure.

  Remote.con~olled 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.
