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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.
