Many of us will be off on our summer holidays soon and will be leaving our Scoobies parked up for long enough to flatten the battery.
Do we inform Tracker?
Do we lock the Scoob and find the battery flat when we get back?
Do we leave it unlocked to save hassle on our return?
Any comments gratefully received!

Whatever you do, don't park your car in one of the privately-owned airport car parks. They cram cars within inches of one another and use their yob staff to shuffle the cars around whenever someone returns and needs their vehicle extracting. I noticed mine had an extra 3 miles on the clock, and that's a massive amount of stop-starts to move it a few feet during the fortnight, and especially annoying when the most engine wear is done in the first minute after start up.

Take your tax disc with you as well.
May put them off taking it for a "battery charge up spin" on the public road, and may help get it stopped /spotted if nicked.

If you have a clifford alarm, then the power usage is cut automatically after around 3 days (I think)
In light of this being the only power consumption device running whilst the car is parked, the battery should last months, not weeks

Enable the 'superlock ' feature on the sigma , that way if its at home and they get your keys while you're away they cant start it without the pin code.
