    FYI,

    Do you park in your driveway overnight?

    These guys want to thank you.

    Make sure you keep your auto insurance up to date.

    A NEW ONE! They get smarter every day!!

    Be safe, stay well

    A barber I used to go to had his front doors stolen off of a car he had parked in his driveway. The front doors were stolen. Car was locked, went out one morning, doors gone.

    Midlands indicates Great Britain plus the guy got into the right side seat to drive. Coming to a driveway to you! Locks are for honest people. Best is to put a lock and chain from the steering wheel to the brake pedal. Anything to delay them. BTW, another good case against the stupid key fobs. Our Ford Ecosport has a key to start it! My BIL's Toyota truck and car have key fobs.

    Nope, both cars in the garage every night. Last summer, our neighbors who can't park in the garage because they because they turned it into a rec room, had both cars stolen on the same night. Most people in our neighborhood park in the drive or street and have had their cars broken into. Not for me, if I have too much crap and cannot park in the garage, it is time to sell and dumpster stuff or buy a bigger house.

    Same here. Besides, I'm at the end of a dead end easement that is gravel and a1/2 mile long. Not only could I possibly see or hear someone coming, my dogs certainly would. My one dog takes guarding our place very seriously.

    Yep the little yappers bark if the "think" they hear something. With the cameras the wife had to have we are pretty dialed in.

    Same on both. I don't think I've owned a vehicle I've taken the keys out of, except for when stationed somewhere in military. Hell I rarely take them out of ignition when go to town. Only time do really is when need to lock it up to leave carry pistol inside if go somewhere not allowed to have it.
