Spate of Thefts of Fiat 500s in Sheffield - Mr Fox
Is this a common problem ? Here in Sheffield there have been numerous thefts of this type of car. Has anyone else had similar problems ? is it a known weakness or are they being lifted to order by organized gangs ?

There have been three taken from the SW area of Sheffield since the New Year as reported on the FIATforum.

Looks like a hiab is just lifting them.

Do FIAT still fit the red key system ?
Without one of the keys the car is immobilised, minus the red key no other keys can be bought and programmed.

My FIAT has the original red key system, but bought umpteenth hand never came with a red key - just a single blue one. I just got a spare key copied and programmed at the little key cutting kiosk next to the local supermarket. 30 euros I think.

I'm guessing the red key system is no longer used then or, has been modified :)

Well yeah,but there's a few more Fords in the area than Fiat 500s, probably by 1000:1
