CrimeRate has no figures for Sunningdale. On a different measure, police.uk shows 20 vehicle crimes within a mile of central Sunningdale over the same 12 months, May 2025 to April 2026. That's a count, not a rate per 1,000 residents, so it can't be set against the table above.

What it means for you
A lower rate doesn't mean no risk. Relay thieves don't pick towns, they pick cars. If you've got a keyless or high-value car on the drive, it's still worth protecting.
Protecting your car in Ascot and Sunningdale
On a long drive, the post works best where the car is parked, near the house, rather than out at the entrance. It stops the car leaving, however it was unlocked.
Cheap first steps: a signal-blocking pouch and a steering lock. More in our keyless theft guide.
