This morning I found out someone broke into my car and stole some low value junk I had in my glovebox along with a jacket and other stuff. I was home all along and didn’t hear it happening. I am usually one to check twice that the car locks when I leave it, and if for whatever reason I don’t then it auto locks after a while.
Now I’m a bit clueless with this stuff so I’m wondering 1) how they opened it without triggering the alarm and 2) can I do anything to prevent this from happening again? Any contraption/device I can use ?
TIA
I remember seeing articles about people leaving their doors open or windows down in places with lots of smash and grabs
Yes, I got that advice when travelling to Marseille, France. Take everything out of the car and leave the windows open.
As someone who lives in a particularly rainy part of the world I’m grateful I don’t have to do that here
I know someone with a soft topped convertible that does this after the roof got cut open once.
I just started leaving my car unlocked for this reason. There have been a few times over the years that I left it unlocked and someone rifled through my shit, but last week they smashed the window. It’s amazing what a mess it makes.
