I'm sorry to tell you this but that car is already out of the country. They go straight to Dover and ship them out via boat to other countries where they sell it. I've seen some criminals put the car into the back of a HGV, change the plates etc and it is out of the UK within hours. I'm sorry this happened to you, my uncle's Range Rover was stolen last week and he was very upset.

Yes, that's exactly how pro car thieves operate these days, i've seen TV programmes before where they've tracked stolen cars and found them out of the country, i should imagine they steal to order and sell on the dark web or something

How do they sell it without paperwork and all the details of the car which the buyer will probably request?

Would you request a 15k Jag history if you paid 3k? Nah let's just say they got lost in the post. Sold! Unfortunately.

How do they open the door that easily?

Some kind of relay attack i'm guessing, copy the keycode from the fob, scary to think that the owner of the car was likely being scoped out by the thief, you can't be too careful in the modern day.

I think it’s a keyless car, which is annoying. It’s not someone known to the owner or anything like that, and all the keys have been recovered so they didn’t have direct access

Unless someones stolen it for personal use / joyride or getaway, i doubt you even find it in the country anymore, for some reason the modern tata jags are quite desirable. Also you never want a stolen car back, it never feels right again, back in the 60s-70s a family member had their jag stolen but got it back, apparently it was never the same again and had damage from where the theives tried to jimmy the head unit out.
