The figures

Low rates, and what they hide

These are some of the lowest rates on our list, and CrimeRate shows Bramshott and Liphook down 39% over three years. Liss is a little higher, at 2.05, but still well below the county.

But a low average doesn't protect a single car. Thieves don't pick towns, they pick cars, and a keyless SUV on a quiet drive is a target wherever it's parked.

What it means for you

For most people here, the cheap steps are enough. If you've got a high-value or keyless car, a physical barrier is the step that doesn't depend on the car's electronics.

Protecting your car in Petersfield and Liphook

The A3 runs past both towns as a dual carriageway. A telescopic post locked in front of the car stops it leaving the drive, however it was unlocked.

Cheap first steps: a signal-blocking pouch and a steering lock. More in our keyless theft guide.
