sorry to hear it. It does happen and chances are they will have another go once you've replaced it. Either beef up security (ie cctv + floodlights) or get rid of it altogether and something a bit more stealthy.

I have had problems with people( scum) turning up in the middle of the night and checking out our house.


I always park our car straight in the garage when we arrive home. You just never know.

Sorry to hear it m8, it's happened to me twice now.

I have a clifford concept series alarm/immobilser which has a proximity alert but also you can add sensors wherever you want. I have a sensor on the inside of the boot lid, stuck directly under the spoiler. You only have to tap the spoiler with your finger and alarm goes off. Touchwood, they haven't been back, fekin @rsewipes.

Thumbs up Clifford

There are different models in the concept range, I have a concept 600 which includes twin point immobiliser, proximity alert, window tampering, boot, bonnet and door sensors plus the additional sensor inside the boot. It cost about £700 but I know you can get it cheaper than that.

Since having mine fitted I know a guy who will come to you and fit a more up to date version for less, if you're interested I'll PM you his number.
