Most cars stolen from homes are taken from the driveway without the keys: a relay device copies the signal from a keyless fob inside the house, and the car is gone in under a minute. A locked post in front of it means it can’t be driven away, however the thief got in.
32% of homes in Ilford are terraced, where a drive is often just one car’s length off the road. A telescopic post sits flush when it’s down, so it doesn’t take up room on a short drive.
72% of households in Ilford have a car or van, and most homes are houses with somewhere to park off the road. A telescopic security post is the simple way to make sure the car is still there in the morning.

Local parking
With the Elizabeth line running through Ilford, Seven Kings, Goodmayes and Chadwell Heath, Redbridge wrote to 15,675 nearby households in 2022 about permit parking, warning that commuters would otherwise drive in and park in residential streets. One survey found over 90 per cent of on-street parking space in that part of the borough was already occupied.
