Default ATTEMPTED SUBARU THEFT

just to make people aware on the 13th January at 3:30am in Rainham, essex area. 4 Youths was caught trying to gain access to my house and subaru.

the subaru isnt at my address and wont be from now on due to this happening.


Just to make people aware not to leave keys down stairs and to make sure alarms are on and doors are locked. I went to the extreme and had the steering wheel, ecu and keys and battery off the car.

I swear this exact incident happened, not so long ago and there was a post about it. I believe it was the same area too.

You should invest in some sort of burglar alarm now. You can get cheap wireless ones from Response. A good deterrent!

Default security

yea i have invested in a good alarm system which alerts me via text.
I have also gone over-board and got a hi security safe installed with 24hour cctv system which has live feed to my mobile phone.
Security lights have been installed in the front and the rear of the house. money well spent

Just hope no one else has to go through the same as me and my family.

its not nice.

I doubt very much if they'll get anything more than a caution for "trying"

Maplins sell cameras that stream to smart phones/Iphones. NightOwl I think the app is called.
