quisquose Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Leave out some dummy keys. After trying, and failing, to get in your car for 5 mins they might give in and naff off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gym_rat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 If you leave keys in the house when you are out, your insurance is invalid no its not .................. ---------- Post added 10-02-2013 at 18:46 ---------- Somebody I know woke up to find his car gone. The thieves had used a flame torch to silently cut/melt a hole in his plastic door to gain access to the locking mechanism. This is quite common now apparently. no its not ................

the_rudeboy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've heard the reverse suggested, to leave you keys where they are visible. If you hide them or leave them in your bedroom, after breaking in the dirty thieves have to wake you and coerce you into revealing where they are. My alarm would wake me up if there were intruders.

RootsBooster Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just a hands up might seem a daft thing to say but don't leave your house and car keys on the work top . Been a few attempted break ins at Hillsborough by lifting keys from work tops with washing props and various other implements through letter boxes . What is this world coming to ! I keep my keys where the sun don't shine. If burglars wake me up to coerce me into revealing the location, I will tell them and they can fetch them themselves :banana: ---------- Post added 10-02-2013 at 20:16 ---------- If you leave keys in the house when you are out, your insurance is invalid You silly sausage. While we're at it though, if you get burgled while you're out and you're one of these teapots who feels the need to update their status on facebook with something like "SoAndSo is currently getting sloshed, catching up with long lost friends in Bar X" or "SoAndSo is currently enjoying a well deserved break on the beach in Hawaaii, 40+ degrees!!!" and the insurance company happen upon this information, they can refuse to pay out.
