It takes about 30 seconds to gain access to a locked 240. I won't give details. The steering lock is hard to break but if duplicate keys are obtained that ceases to be a problem. If the suspicion is that duplicate keys are being obtained through Volvo would it be worth contacting Volvo and making them aware of the problem and see if additional security measures could be taken before providing duplicate keys for the older cars?

Unfortunately once access to the car is obtained it is easy to load onto a lorry or trailer. Most banger racers seem to have a lorry with hiab and a strap through the windows will see it lifted in seconds.
