Would like to see that article. I believe modern cars are almost impossible to steal , so the thieves are breaking into the houses and getting the keys from the hook in the kitchen .

The days of Jamming a screw driver into the drivers door then the ignition are long gone surely.

Had my Fiesta stolen from Leckwith hill whilst we were at the Hull city game. Just a pile of broken glass and no car. Have heard they can use a laptop and plug in to the diagnostic port to start the car, don't know if that's true or not.:shrug:

Looks like I'm back to taking out the petrol pump fuse again. That was the only way to stop my Vauxhall being stolen back in the late 80's. Didn't stop the arseholes knackering the steering column though

We used to remove the rotor arm. That was in the days before steering locks and hot wiring a car was so easy you could do it without causing damage. Opening a car was easy, just choose any key from a selection.

This feels like a piece of information you should probably share with the police?

Re: Car stolen in Thornhill
Put a stop to car thieves by siphoning off all your petrol whenever
you park your car, and carrying it round with you in one or two
plastic buckets.

Happy New Year Jimmy!
You maybe right except I'm struggling to reconcile 'Vauxhall Insignia' and 'top end vehicles'.
I know I won't do anything about it until I get a car nicked again though...

Re: Car stolen in Thornhill
Car found last night at midnight. Involved in multiple robberies and a police chase.
Happy new year :hehe:

I had a car nicked back in the early 90's, a white Cavalier SRi
That was involved in a police chase where the robbers threw my babies car seat at the chasing cops. They got away and car was found abandoned in Barry. In the time it took me to get to Barry to reclaim it it was taken again and found a day or two later in Merthyr.
It got repaired but I never drove it again. Ditched it immediately as I was not comfortable with it

If car thieves or House breakers do get caught then chop a hand off. Draconian measures but they won’t do it again. If they do, chop the other fuc*er off.
Ps. I’m being serious. Too many keunts walking around thinking they can just take what they want.
Sounds like you're up for a bit of Sharia Law to me.

Sorry to hear. The assailants could have easily cloned my car key, as they haven't been caught why would I want the car back when they can just come back in a couple of weeks and steal it again.
There were various personal documents in the car also.

As an example, you can get some sort of master key fot Transit MK7's and device to plug into port under the steering column for about £300. Google transit owners club, stolen vans. I think same is available for many vehicles as well now. No damaged locks or steering columns and vehicles started in about 30 seconds.

You should have put the baby chair back in. You'd have been more comfortable and you would have been able to see over the dashboard.

Don’t buy the cheap CCTV’s from eBay, spend good money and have a good system.
HIK Vision are one of the best systems.
