Warning , van thieves about, in County Durham

Postby Andrew Baker » Sat Sep 09, 2017 9:58 pm

Just a warning for anyone in the County Durham area, had my Mk7 Trend broken into in the early hours of this morning, I have cctv. Two lads fiddled with the drivers door lock, managed to disable the alarm? , well it did not go off. Then opened the doors of the van, I have a disc lock fitted to the steering wheel, I don't know if this put them off taking the van.
There are no signs of damage to the door lock. I was tipped off that thieves had a master key a few months ago and we're targeting Transits in the area. Keep your eyes open.

I had a alarm fitted, looks like one of the lads points something at the van before they open the door.

No one in their right mind would want my mk5 :lol:

Normally pull relay I when the "travellers" are heading to Appleby :idea:

A house without a dog is like a forum without a BJT.
Too bloody quiet :shock:
