Smoke alarms are becoming increasingly common in domestic situations and more than 70% of homes have smoke alarms of some kind. Sales totalled 14.4 million pounds sterling in 1994. The two main kinds of smoke alarms commonly available are optical smoke detectors and ionisation smoke detectors. The U.K. smoke alarm market is divided into three categories: new sales direct to householders; sales to housebuilders and replacement alarms.

World champion: car theft

Article Abstract:

British car thieves, believed to be among the most sophisticated and successful in the world, are even able to override high-tech tracking devices that use radio frequency signals to alert police to the car's location. Tracking devices, which cost upwards of 500 pounds sterling, can only be thwarted by moving the car into a lead-lined area. Although cars with tracking devices are much more likely to be found by police, five percent go unrecovered. No one knows why car thieves are so prevalent in Britain, as compared to other European countries.
