In the UK, technologies like this ____________(63) achieve a 31 percent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owner's keys in a burglary(盗窃). In 2000,12 percent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner's keys double the previous year's figure.
Remote-controlled immobilization system would __________(64) a major new obstacle in the criminal's way by making such thefts pointless.
