Peel and steal

[s.varty]

A customer of mine had her car broken into as well as most of her neighbours, but with no damage what so ever? Police caught a gang of lads responsible, they would park up with a laptop, wait for people to come home and alarm their car and somehow they could get the code and break in .I,m sure these scum could make a good living legally.

That peal and steal method has been used for years. When I was at 6th form college one of the lads had his car broken into that way.

 

That was about 25 years ago.

my old landy door was easy to bend enough to get the keys out.

 

how about unternal clamps that pull it closed from inside , i guess like the boarding they use on empty properties so u have to get inside to defeat it. and then the one door left ( if you cant go from the front that is has dead locks in say 4 places ( each corner).

surely cant be that hard to retrofit vs the ball ache of getting all your tools pinched.

 

crazy one of my neighbours i was talking to just last week was telling me a gut 20 yrds from his house has had his tools nicked twice in the last year and half, hes never lost any. but he had over 4k of tools he leaves in there, one costs £2500 by itself!

i sweat leaving an old wet jumper in mine lol.

The answer is to buy a ford ranger. My dog has locked herself in twice now and it took two of us with various tools and wire and lots of swearing about 15 minutes to hook the keys out of the ignition.

You can buy a little pump wedge specially designed for the job, opens a gap up to get at the lock button for when you leave your keys in the car.
