Don't buy a top of the range car, that is keyless.

Speaking with bitter experience after being targeted by these scum bags a couple of months back.

They got into the wifes new car, the model was only released last November, fortunately they took nothing from hers.

They got in to my 10 year old Honda CRV, took a 6 year old sat nav I’d stashed in the cool box in the dashboard (I know my own stupid fault). The big pisser is the £380 it cost to have the Wifi receiver replaced and the key fobs recoded.

At least both cars need keys too start them.

Neighbours had them on cctv trying every car door in the road. The police said it was too dark and grainy to make a positive ID.

My car has a computer, but you still need a key to start it and it is parked under a street light which is on all night.

Council switch's the street lights off at midnight(little aerial on top of light picks up the signal for off or on).

The council can not switch mine off, it has no aerial, the lamppost is on our property. Laughing
