I live in Lymm, which is a very expensive area to live just outside of Manchester. It is WA13 which is F* on that list.

We had 2 cars stolen last year off our drive after being burgled to get the keys.

I guess that it is poor for car crime as it is right on the M6/M62/M56 so a car can be taken and be in Manchester or Liver pool in no time coupled with the fact that most of the cars in the Village are, on average, more expensive and better than a typical town . That may well attract the thieving toe rags.

C - I suppose it could be right...we did live in Birmingham before where it would have been E* and when we moved all the insurances went down quite a bit.
