No. The immobiliser did the job.
They'd gone by the time I got out there.

Yeah, not too much. Looks like steering lock / ignition barrel, and a quarter window at the moment. There's bound to be more though.

They are game doing that in front of your house. Wouldn't they think smashing the glass would wake someone up?

Bastards!


They must have been on drugs........ Stealing a Datsun of all things!  ;D ;D ;D

Sorry mate... Would certainly put a downer on your day. I would be wild about it of it was me.

Sure do. But with 110kg of angry bogan after them, wearing nothing but jocks, I'm sure they'd have been fleet of foot......

Bugger Geoff that's a crap way to start the morning. Hope there's not too much damage.

I've recently bought a couple of large halogen sensor lights. I plan to fit an extension lead to each of them and mount them in various positions around the camper. That way if they take one out there are still others to light up the area. I also have fitted an infrared beam across the driveway with a buzzer in our bedroom, this should alert me to anybody entering.

Cheers all.

After this mess is cleaned up, it looks like some security cameras will be needed.
