Stolen cars. Beware

[jamie_wood]

Just spreading the word.

Our local bobby and family friend was round a couple of nights ago while on the beat to inform us that the thevin' scum are on the go in our kneck of the woods again.

A friend from the next village along the road had his P1 stolen last week and it was abandoned only a few miles later. Its not clear why it was dumped. However.

Our previous neighbour had his new L200 pickup taken and it has yet to be found.

We have been advised to be extra vidulant .

To be fair, there is nowt you can do apart from lock the doors on the cars and house and keep the keys away from the letter box line of sight!! Our area (Dunblane to Perth)is reciving extra patrols to try and prevent further incidents.

It seems they are targeting 4x4's up here and apparenty Subarus too.

It has been said that it is a team from Glasgow that are operating these thefts, not that it makes much odds's who it is.

So, it was just a wee reminder to keep on top of these bu66ers and put them of nabing your hard earned toys.

Hide the keys and close the windows, buy a security light , etc.

Cheers

Yeah it seems to be the prefered way to steal cars these days.  Brake into the house and help yourself to the keys.  Even read a story of some thieves kicking the door in of a house in Liverpool to steal their Civic Type R.  THe owners called the police, but by the time they had arrived the owners had been beaten with bats and the car was gone.

A guy at my work had the same experience with his Audi S3 earlier this year.  Braking in for the keys.....no beating by the way.

Personally I lock the door even when I am in and the keys are never near the door or line of sight in the house.
