Last year about this time our clise of some 15 houses, alot of the cars (including mine) were targeted, all 4 of my doors were left half an inch open, as were the other 2 cars on my drive, only took......a can of Coke Zero from the fridge in the car, found the empty can on the grass!

It’s been a ‘wakeup call’ in terms of how I viewed security as I was under the illusion someone would need to physically break in on these earlier non keyless entry systems. Leaving anything of even minor value inside is now a risk I will have to factor in which is both worrying and massively inconvenient. I’m assuming the key signal was intercepted at the time of locking but could the entry code be broken via a brute force type attack? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I live in a quiet close, a car with a couple of dodgy looking eastern Europeans in it would get spotted, besides the vehicles were VE, Mercedes Vauxhall my car and a Transit, they obviously had some device that could open up different manufacturers.

They took sunglasses, a small torch, wet wipes and some cash ( <£20) i.e stuff they can use rather than theft for selling on. Maybe going through a carpark or street taking stuff like this is a form of 'shopping' esp if people don't notice. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

They left the contents of the glovebox and door cards on the seats, think they may have been looking for cash, don't keep any on me anyway let alone in the car! |

Do you have the little amber light in your passenger door mirror Jay ?

You are probably lucky it’s a small time tea leaf.

If they are going to the trouble of getting past a steering lock and hidden kill switch to take a 12 yr old car worth <£5k they are welcome to it |

I'm more curious how they did it ( as you do not have "Blind Spot" mirror option ) ??

I’m assuming it was a signal intercept but the security tech is now old so it may have been something like a brute force attack. Either way I’m no longer as confident as I was about these cars security. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
