For the second time, some thieving little ******* has tried to nick my car!
On both occassions the bonnet has been popped, setting off the alarm, scaring them off.
How are they managing to pop/release the bonnet and what can i do about it/stop it.
Help!

Buy a pittbull, sit him in the cr with the windows open lol

But seriously, they can only be opportunist muppets. I cant really see what good its going to do them anyway once they are under.

Dont know how there doing it but ad be careful. when they realise they cant steal it, they may well damage it, it happened to a mate of mine, they go inside, they smashed all the indicators, several of the interior plastics around the colum, when they realised they couldnt take it, they sh** on the seats and put every window on the car out.

See this is the mentality of the scum who would rather steal our cars, rather than go get a job and buy thier own...

So hey, its your own fault, im sure thats what goes through there brain cell just before they steal something

Slightly off topic but you would think that when we are complaining about some of the riff-raff that are rife in our neighbourhoods we would at least try and make ourselves look better than them but i'm afraid the last reply looks like it's a straight copy from the Chav encyclopedia...and please don't see it as a personal attack but it's just the way it looks....Chav

They pop the bonnet with a windsceen wiper blade in the gap, there is a mod so i am told. I am picking up my first Scooby next week so i will post the mod once i have sussed it out.

Nice one mate. Death to all car thieves!
Dont worry all, i am in a position to exact some revenge for everyone who has saved for cars and mods, only for scum to steal/damage it!

madmooro

could they be trying to get to the alarm before it goes of and try to disable it ??

sounds like they are casing car to get the excat wearabouts of the wires etc ??

Its really very easy to pop most bonnets from the outside. I'm looking into locking bonnet pins for mine.

If it's a UK car from 99MY on (with the standard fit Sigma system) then the control unit for the alarm/immobiliser is inside the car itself. Only the siren is located under the bonnet.
The only wires routed to the under-bonnet area are the siren's earth and power supply wires, the coded data wire to the siren (which will cause the self powred siren to trigger if cut whilst the alarm is armed) and the bonnet switch wire. Even with access to these wires, they are of no use to a potential thief.
From 2001MY trim removal is required to access the siren, but even on 99 and 2000 MY where the siren is exposed, it contains it's own power supply and will continue to sound even if the cable to the siren is cut.
Even if discarded, the siren will have sounded and the rest of the alarm will continue to immobilise the vehicle, so very little can be achieved under the bonnet.
