Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The police are already able to search vehicles for stolen property, and can search homes with a warrant if they believe stolen property is being stored there.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
