Luckily we have a tracker and quickly retrieved it ourselves. The car was taken and dumped on the corner of Court Lane and Druce Road.


It is a family 4x4 with keyless entry. The keys are kept in a (tested and working) RFID blocking pouch when not in use.


This means the thieves likely waited to intercept the signal when the keys were used by us, and probably then able to clone it to obtain access.


We usually have a stop-lock, but unfortunately left it off this night by mistake.


Please remain vigilant all !

Wow! just flipping wow! Criminals these days... even with an RFID pouch they still somehow went to the trouble of cloning the key etc...


Maybe they got spooked when they dumped it. Glad to hear you got it back! horrible feeling though - the violation!


eughhh it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach! scumbags!


Just goes to show, as you say you must be vigilant at all times and have secondary security these days... maybe a camera out the front would help deter...


Thank you for letting us know

Thank you for the kind words. I have installed additional cameras. What baffles me is how easy it must be for them to sell the cars on the black market. That must be where the authorities focus their efforts. One would assume they are taken out the country on shipping containers.

Hiya,

As this is a public forum I would rather not say, I hope you understand.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
