interesting, a neighbour saw  similar with  my case... I wouldn't be surprised if linked to your recent visit too.
the same people came back for my car and as I said  coincided exactly with a dealer visit every time.
too much of a coincidence over the last couple of years for me.

Seems to be rife at the moment, my CCTV picked this up at 2.22am this morning...

It might might have just been chancers testing all the cars in my road, but it has come co-incidently after I've recently got it back from the dealer...  :angry:

I'll report it to the police, but I doubt they'll be interested.

Another attempt at testing my door handles was picked up by my CCTV in the early hours. This time the driver's door...

Isn't that the same girl as before?

Both were definitely girls... which is odd.

I think they are looking to nick stuff from unlocked cars.

That’s not great seeing things like that but as above it looks to be the same person perhaps. Think they’re definitely just chancing it to see if it’s open and just go through it.

A mates just sent me a couple of Ring videos of a car pulling up outside his and then drive off and go past again 6mins later. Not a great feeling but it’s a sad state of affairs these days.
