Insurers should put pressure on car manufacturers to raise their security standards according to the July Which? Report (1 July); which goes on to say "Until they do, its going to be the car owner who suffers". With more than 1.4M cars broken into in 2003, the report reveals a startling deficiency in the design of the UK car population. While cars themselves are now harder to steal than ever before, the report has demonstrated that people's personal possessions within the car are still targets for opportunists. The report clearly criticises car manufactures and insurers for not insisting on the mandatory introduction of one of the best ways to reduce crime of this nature - laminated glass.
