Its the same both sides of the river (and everywhere else for that matter). Leaving a super car in an unsecured state is always going to attract the wrong sort of attention unless you are somewhere like puerto banus.

When you live on an island your horizons are restricted and small. This is reflected in what aspirations you have...none. Drugs, alcohol, petty lawbreaking, violence and TOWIE this is your world - these are your horizons and the CIIP pander to them. They have closed off the minds of Canvey let us be Independent of the mainland we hear them cry, lets us make our own decisions we are independent. Except you're not, you have been brainwashed and it shows - not to you - but to us in the real world.
Your mummy must be so proud of your towering intellect...

These Kent-types think they can pop up out of the tunnel in their fancy cars and impress us.
Well, we've got plenty more accelerant where that came from.

1) Park supercar in quiet area of Essex 2) Set fire to it 3) Head home to report it stolen and claim on insurance.
