They've got some gadget that they can pop the doors and bypass the immobiliser on cars like new Mercs Audis and BMW also sone fords and new vauxhalls. :roll: starting the car from the gadget,mate said you can buy this said gadget off the net from other EU countries. :shock:
Ford is the most vulnerable for that. Even a YouTube video on it and how to do it.

Lol my mate who was telling me about this who lives in Larkhall has just got a new focus st and he lives where these thefts have taken place so he's been parking the works van behind the focus a night just incase he gets targeted. :shock:
 
I own a black corsa limited edition, 14 reg.
From my own experience, the thieves are targetting the following: bonnet, front bumper, tires / rims.

It had happened to me twice now.. the second time, the thieves left my car standing on bricks. They managed to open the passenger side window - despite having a thatcham alarm installed - it made no difference what so ever.

The insurers appears to be putting the blame on me - made reference indirectly to suggest im at fault for leaving the windows opened.
