Slight update on this...my gearbox is knackered since the break in. It started being very stiff to change gears the day after and this morning I can't get it in to gear at all. Is this coincidence and unrelated or likely some damage from the break in?

Indeed. "Officer I was changing my wheel in the dark whilst using my foot long maglite and this young chap slipped and bumped his head...repeatedly!".

Yeah totally agree! Thankfully it appears something spooked them. Perhaps the fact it was 0845am and more people were walking passed to work and had spotted them. I won't be taking any more chances. And a tip off from a policeman is not to get a baseball bat as it's clear intent but instead...

The lights were flashing. That's what caught the attention of my colleagues to tell me to go and check my car so fuses should all be fine. Ok makes sense why they had switched the hazzards on then. Thanks! Clearly know what they are doing. Bastards!

I mean the hazzard switch was ON rather than the lights flashing because of the alarm system being triggered. The other Landy was parked about 100 yards away which seemed a bit strange to me but will find out 100% today if it was them as getting CCTV footage from the landlord.

Hahaha! Great security device. The alarm keeps going off now even though it's not set. Neighbours are going to love me tonight. Not sure what they've done but it was sensitive already and now it's protesting by itself.

Thanks and yes agree I should have got it all first. Live and learn I guess. One other thing I forgot to mention is the hazard light switch was on. Does that mean anything or did they perhaps just knock it. It was that that caught the eye of some of my colleagues on their way in which made me...

Haha! I feel I'll be heading the same way. Ordered a steering wheel lock, tracker and might consider a pedal lock too.

It's on the drive with an X5 parked right behind it so they can try their best but it's not going anywhere but yes expecting them to know where I live and to make another attempt. Cameras are all set up on it too.

It's gone an alarm but it's sensitive. Got someone coming out on Friday to check it. The car couldn't be more visible. It's 15 yards from the building entrance and alongside a main road. This person watched me go to work and went for it knowing what they needed to do at 0845am.

Good shout! Would explain why they were routing through all my stuff too including emptying boxes in the back.

Hi - newbie here but been meaning to sign up for a while but under better circumstances. Today my 1998 plate Td5 was broken in to at my place of work in what I think was a targeted attempt. I have footage of a Land Rover driving in to the car park after me and exiting 14mins later so joining...
