Gem1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 At 11pm on Monday 22nd April our dark blue Land rover Discovery HF15 KBN was stolen from Heber Road. The car has black alloys and dark back windows.The police said there is a chance it will be left on a nearby road for a short time. If anyone has seen a car by this description we would really appreciate it if you could let us know. The car had our children?s bikes, pushchair, cot and car seats in following our Easter weekend away. Our car has a keyless entry system and there was no sign of forced entry. I would urge anyone with a keyless car to get a steering wheel lock as apparently that is the best deterrent.

TheCat Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sorry to hear that. Especially upsetting with all your family kit in the car.Just one question...how do you know there were no signs of forced entry if the car hasn't turned up yet? you mean there was no shattered glass around where it was parked?

Gem1 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 No broken glass. I heard a car alarm minutes before and had looked out of the window to check our car as the rear light were stolen in February, however by the time I looked out of the window the alarm had stopped and our car looked fine so I assumed it was not our alarm. I got back into bed and then heard the engine start and saw it being driven away.

Vick Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sorry to hear this. We also live on Heber Road, our neighbour had their Volvo X60 stolen twice, again a keyless car. Our neighbour did manage to retrieve it on both occasions though, i believe via the GPS tracking system?? (sorry, don't know much more details than this) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/223863-car-stolen-last-night-heber-road/#findComment-1332249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarM Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sorry that has happened. Just in case you weren't aware, might be something to do with this: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/jan/28/uk-keyless-cars-theft-which-ford-fiesta-vw-golf-nissan-qashqai-focusWhich did a big thing on it a couple of months ago. Seems like a ludicrously big flaw. Hope you get it all sorted out.

Earl Aelfheah Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Sorry to hear about your car. It's amazing that keyless entry systems have such a glaring security flaw. I would have thought the manufacturers must have some liability here? Anyway, I hope you get the vehicle back.

ruffers Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Sorry to hear about this. We've turned off passive keyless entry on our car, people might want to explore that for future?
