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 ____, he will not be able to start it again.
for now, such devices _____ 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 cars, and ______ be available to ordinary cars in the uk____ two months.
the idea goes like this. a control box fitted to the car incorporates ____ miniature cellphone , a microprocessor and memory, and a gps satellite positioning receiver. ____ the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine _____ restarted.

in the uk, an array of technical fixes is already making _____ 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 _____ the motor insurance industry.
he says it would only take him a few minutes to _____ a novice how to steal a car using a bare minimum of tools. but only if the car is more than 10 years old. modern cars are a far tougher proposition , as their engine management computer will not _____ them to start unless they receive a unique id code beamed out by the ignition key. in the uk, technologies like this _______ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime 15 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 using the owners keys double the previous years figure.
remote-controlled immobilization system would _____ 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 ____ expects.
