Hi all,
My lovely RaRa was stolen from my drive less than 40 minutes ago.
It happened around 2.06am.
InControl rang me to let me know.
Plod called but no visit yet.
I have both keys with me so how????????
I'll let you know of developments.
Bastards. If it ain't broken, fix it till it is.

Update 3.32am.
InControl have a location for the vehicle but won't tell me where...they will only tell plod!
Off back to bed now.
Bastards.
Regards,
Tony If it ain't broken, fix it till it is.

Sorry to hear!

Usual method is they use a repeater to pick up a signal from your keys. If your keys are near your front door they can hold the repeater against your door or window.

Sorry to hear your news but glad that they think they have located it. Did in control wake you up to say it had been stolen and if so how did they know it was not you driving. Not sure about them refusing to tell you where it was, he who pays the piper calls the tune.
I had also seen a clip of scrotes holding a receiver against the house and we have changed where we keep the keys. letters not necessarily in the right order

Sorry to hear that.

Keep us updated.

Hopefully it is not a long drawn out process to get remedied for you.

Presumably the tamper is them disconnecting the tracker, how can it be that easy? letters not necessarily in the right order

Scum bags. Unbelievable how easy it can be , keep us informed and good luck.

OP Sorry your car has been stolen . Can we presume from this that the location of the standard tracker is out in the open ?
Did they follow you home ?

ah ....

As long as you and anyone with you are safe then that's all that matters. Cars can be replaced lives cannot sadly.

Be interested to hear the outcome.

Gonna hide my keys now so thanks for the info! all smug in my new plug!

If you put your keys in a tin or metal box it acts as a faraday cage and should stop the "key repeater" thefts . Still trying to think of a solution when you have the key in your pocket . My Yamaha tmax key has a on / off button on the fob so as you walk away you can switch the fob off , something for the next model !!!

The tracker people have told me that they got a "tamper" message when the car was about 10 mins from my home. I assume that's because the key fob was not present.
They tell me that the tracker is no longer working (been disabled?) but they may be able to do some sort of GSM triangulation once they have the necessary data protection permissions from me and the local plod.

Could they not have disabled the vehicle remotely when they realised it was stolen and knew where it was. My very basic tracker has an option to cut fuel supply etc which at least stops them getting too far.

Very true. It could have been a lot worse.

@ Charlyfarly

I hope this resolves itself and doesn't cause too much aggro. At least you're able to tell us the story rather than us read about something horrific in the newspapers.
