Heads up! Car thefts in area!

[PoleDriver]

Apparently there have been a few thefts of upmarket cars from the car park at Morrisons in Horndean. They must be well organised because the cars are disappearing very quickly and bee driven, not on a low loader!

Probably waiting nearby with a scanner to duplicate the key fob signal when the car is locked. Easy to steal from that point.

Oh dear that's my local shop, having said that I don't take either car near the place since an old tt backed into my old Lotus many yars ago and I only popped in for some crusty rolls. There was no CCTV there at that time and I'm not sure there is any now.

Is that still possible, I thought modern systems have rolling codes?

Don't worry Andy I can't think of anyone that would steal sooty! You could park that up in bevois valley with the engine running and it would still be there in the morning......probably on fire ......but still where you parked it.
