Sorry yes, I did mean to say that's another alternative. It's a pretty built-up area, though, so you'd have to be pretty brave / stupid to do something so noisy as to low-loader it away in the middle of the night.

Back in the 80's my car was stolen from my drive on a summer's evening, at about 7pm on a busy residential street. I was sitting in my living room about 10ft from the car.

The car had an engine part removed so was impossible to start without someone work in on the car first.

The police said they will have simply rolled it off the drive and pulled it into a truck.

This.

Takes about 10 seconds and it's gone.

The key bit is just a key: it can still be "barrelled" and started with a screwdriver.

No it can't.
I'm a locksmith and auto electrician, so it would take me about 10 minutes or so to get into it, and another 10 minutes or so to make it run - that's with specialist kit and training, so a screw driver just isn't going to make the grade.
