Best Car Alarm After Having Car Stripped Panels

[Georgeyporgey]

Hi All.

So we have been a victim of car cannibals stripping my wife brand new Toyota Yaris 2022.

My wife is a end of life caring nurse & they stripped the front of the car while at work in the carpark while she is watching them through the window at 2am.

She phone the police & you guest it " We can't do nothing about it"

She mainly works nights & cars parked at the work

We got a dash camera fitted by Toyota front & back Nextbase 380gw but didn't pickup anything.

They stripped 4 that week in the same area

I'm looking to bell it up but they are not triggering the doors or bonnet.
They pull the front grill off snapping the headlights off then taking the bumper too.

I need something which has maybe magnetic strip contacts on grill & bumper so if the grill gets disturbed again that it will go off as that's the 1st place of contact.

I've looked at pandora alarms but without a door trigger the alarms not going off.

I have had Clifford alarms in the past on sports car but as this is a normal hybrid car & no alarms have changed from when I had my vauxhall zafira gsi turbo I'm stuck.

Please can people advise what's a good alarm plus any other upgrades to security and or dash camera.

Cheers.

Feel your pain you can get old style car alarm From Clifford which has vibration sensor and multiple sirens
it will be a noise nuisance if it goes off thats for sure

Can't be much help on the alarm side, but just to say that's terrible.
I think saying "ok then, I'm off to get my rifle" then hanging up might trigger police attendance, but I'm not sure who would be in more trouble...

Firstly I am very sorry that happened!

My two main thoughts are can she get CCTV fitted at work and she should complain to all and sundry about the non attendance.

Similar happened to us, chap in my wifes car in the middle of the night.

She rang Police for them to say "no one available, stay in your house".

They soon arrived when she told them husband and son had one of them pinned down on the drive.

Police these days hardly worth calling.

You used to be able to get alarms with a proximity sensor, that would tell you to back away, and go off if you didn't.

Hopefully she got done with something for messing around without knowing what else was being called about. Selfish idiot.

Assuming it always front lights and bumpers being nicked can she park with the nose of the car right up against a wall?
