Eiou can lead a horse to water but nothing's going to make it get in the back of that van. Fortunately that wasn't the plan. Rapunzel the pony was appearing with Chief Inspector Dave Fox and Inspector Gill Corder of the RSPCA on the occasion of their light diesel van being fitted with a DieselGuard immobiliser courtesy of Ital. The Watfordbased security specialist has donated two of these immobilisers to the RSPCA. Its division in the North-east took up this kind offer from Ital because they experience the largest number of crime related incidents. Diesel vehicles are most often stolen for their engines, something that a cost-conscious charity has to be aware of. DieselGuard operates by shutting off the fuel supply electromechanically with the fuel valve and its controls housed in a tamperproof, sealedfor-life, cast-metal housing. That sounds foolproof, as long as the thieves don't get fed up and nick Dobbin instead!
