Jail terms cut for car thieves - Kent Online
www.kentonline.co.uk/sittingbourne/.../jail-terms-cut-for-car-thieves-a5343...
26 Apr 2013 - The offences involved the theft of five Land Rover Defenders, from ... 307 from Bredhurst Trade Centre and a caravan from near Sittingbourne.

appears they have some kind of skeleton key or something and only targeting landrovers .

Skeleton key? Nah, a 5p coin is enough to open a worn landrover door lock!

They are most certainly targeting landrovers, they are one of the most sought after vehicles internationally. They are easy to break for parts which are in high demand, plus the vehicles themselves are in demand in other countries.
Local to me in the last year there has been one taken from a pub carpark on a hiab truck, two spare wheels stolen and one bonnet (they just lift off)
When there was a spate of thefts a couple of years ago the police were actively stopping landrovers being driven late at night/early morning. Due to working in theatre I often drive home in the early hours and was stopped enough times to be on speaking terms with the officers. Which I consider to be a good thing!
