Default Also 740/940?

Hi folks
As a previous 240 owner (and 740 and now 940) and still an admirer of these cars, this is all very scary - seems to be confined to a particular area in the south, but no room for complacency elsewhere I suppose and not that that's any consolation to owners down there.

Just wondered if the same thing applies to the 740/940, or is it a particular liking for the 240 which these guys have with no real interest in the 740/940 ie is it a kind of status thing for them? Otherwise, I would have thought that especially some of the earlier 740s would be just as good on the banger track and just as easy to steal? (maybe not so much the later 700s and the 900s which have maybe more advanced security - my 940 has an immobiliser system which sometimes won't let me start the car - probably down to my ignorance rather than anything else!). In which case maybe the matter should also be flagged up on the 740/940 forum (and maybe others)?
