Car theft

Was your car keyless?  It a big problem around cars been stolen without key.

Modern cars are easier to steal than the cars of bygone days.

The newer Range Rovers are no longer possible to insure in some UK cities with insurance quotes in the 10’s of thousands now commonplace.

Progress? Really?

sorry to hear of your misfortune, hopefully things will sort out in time.

My a ten year old M.B. Disappeared from a place I would have thought safe with cameras etc 

But unfortunately the cameras only caught the rear of the vehicle going out the car park with a thief on board.

I was very sad to hear this. It seems odd that the store was able to access video of the car being driven away but they didn't have video of the theft in progress, because most likely the thieves arrived in a second vehicle. 

Can I ask, was the car LHD and was it keyless ignition? I wonder if the police have a system where the VIN number is shared with ITV stations nationally.

I must admit I feel a greater sense of confidence that my RHD is unlikely to be targeted in this way. No consolation to you I'm sure. 

Kind regards, Steve

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear this news, Could I ask which store it was as I have a feeling it's one that I shop at on a regular basis. 

Thanks

Hi 

Thank you for the simpathec reply 

The car  was left hand drive and with a key ignition 

It certainly knocks your confidence about security 

I agree they were most probably in a second car and obviously professional car thieves we understand that on average 82 cars are stolen each day in Spain and these are mainly Mercedes and BMW 

Jensen a make which I was not be buying in future !

Kind regards 

Richard 

The  shop was Leroy Merlin in Elche 

With stiff security in store ,

But outsider !
