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
And move your car once in a while, or otherwise make it look like someone is paying attention to it.
I had a car stolen: ten year old cheap econobox, over 100k miles, nothing in the car. I suppose it could have been an impulse, or it could have been that I had to move the car for street cleaning, left it in a bad spot (unlighted, no foot traffic, under a bridge) and left it there so I wouldn’t have to move it again for next street cleaning - the perils of living in a city and going mostly car free but not entirely giving up your car. Anyhow, I came back a week later and it was gone
Police were useless but offered the opinion that stripped parts for a ten year old econobox were valuable
