theft

Any idea what this is, from the datacard? It follows 882 Alarm system with immobiliser and interior protection. Thanks,

Dear all I am a proud but very concerned 14 Reg C63 owner following all the coverage re. the increase of keyless thefts around the country - especially around Redbridge-area where I reside! Has anyone heard or have knowledge/experience of AMG products and aprticularly C63s being stolen...

Just when you thought the issue was sorted, or perhaps didn't apply to Mercedes cars, there was a main story piece on Midlands Today tonight, including an interview with a guy from Thatcham who said that the list of vulnerable cars was changing on a monthly basis. No specific mention of MB...

A friend had his led lights stolen from his 2011 c class, just a heads up to be careful they seem to be rather easy to remove with just four screws holding each light housing in situ. Cost from mb to supply and fit two new units.

Yup, this would do it :D... u95qouPfXHM

A neighbour has two cars - an Audi A5 unknown year but recent (his), and a Vauxhall Astra 06 plate (hers). They came down the other morning to find both cars open, and the Satnav (Astra) and other contents gone, with the remaining contents on the passenger seats. Both cars were locked the...

Hi all, just a quick warning to any W124 (actually an S124) owners in the North London area, and further afield, my S124 E200 auto was stolen from my driveway between Friday night 23:00 and Saturday Morning 05:00. My bedroom is right above where I park my car, it was a hot summer evening so the...

Hi Everyone This may sound a strange question, but i have a 2007 W211 E320 cdi Avantgarde and there seems to be no alarm. There is a little light space on the internal central locking button, which i believe is illuminated when the alarm is armed. When i lock the car it does not light up...

I noticed one of my neighbours had picked up a new C63 last week and spent the weekend checking it out when I passed. Left to go to work this morning and saw this rage-inducing sight :mad: It is what, 3 weeks old at most?

Kent Police are warning owners of Sprinter vans to be on the lookout. Apparently they are top of the league for Catalytic Convertor thefts in Kent. Thieves have the removal process down to a fine art. Sprinter vans, it seems, are easy targets well suited to this type of crime.

"There is no specific BMW security issue here. We, like our customers and those of other manufacturers, are victims of this new high-tech organised crime." BBC News - BMW owners hit by high tech theft BBC One's Watchdog on Wednesday 12 September 2012 at 2000

The following was snaffled from today's online news: A BIZARRE case involving a stolen car at Stirling has been cracked. The case started when an Upper Sturt man left his car in the rear car park of the shopping complex at the corner of Pine St and Old Mt Barker Rd in Stirling while he went...

This a copy of an email sent to me this morning, via an "Old Comrades" contact, to draw my attention to this campaign, so with, hopefully a Moderator's permission, I'd would like to draw it to your attention.:thumb: Any little Hamlet or Village or even Wayside Memorials that you know of, even...

Some interesting car theft dodges in an MSN article. Pretty standard fare but a timely reminder and one or two interesting ones.  Cars - Road tests, Used Cars & New Cars - MSN Cars UK

Her Ladyship has seen a nice SLk and is poised to buy it. Just phoned our insurer (Privilege) for a quote and they will not cover if for theft unless it has a tracking device fitted! Any SLK owners had the same problem? Is the SLK more likely to be stolen than any other car? Thanks chaps

I've had a bad day. It started with me getting a parking-ticket. While the attendant lifted my windscreen wiper to put the ticket, he set the alarm off. This in turn meant I got back to an immobilized car that wouldn't let me in. I then got home, only to find that the game I had just bought...

I have a 2010 C180 Sport and found overnight it had been "opened". I know I locked it. Has anyone heard of cars being opened? I've seen stuff around "Key Catchers" catching the signal that opens the locks but don't know if this is real....

seems like the thieves are not like what they used to be:)) [here]
