They all have nice cars, but couldn't mind the keys of them

Atlantic Dawn

A car is only as secure as the place you put the keys.

vicwatson

CCTV Caller?

Dan Jaman

Ah; an ex-Guard. Just the man.

Atlantic Dawn

Did he also leave the logbooks in the glove compartment?

But cant they steal some new cars without even having the keys?

Atlantic Dawn

Right hand drives so market limited unless to be striped for parts.

Yes those with keyless entry from about 2010ish to 2014ish, it's "resolved" now...until someone figures a way around that.

vicwatson

Very odd that they would all leave their keys in the same place?..............the worst possible place?

Atlantic Dawn

Some people will buy cars like this because they are sold chaaaappppeeee without checking the name on the logbook is the seller and without doing a single history check to see if it's stolen, fools and their money so to speak.

Was that not a "new" 5 series that was nicked on a woman that was onto Joe a couple months back, and there was CCTV knocking around with some dud waving an aerial to interfere with the signal ? Anyhow

Atlantic Dawn

Sensible caller alert.

SEPT 23 1989

they are probably watching you right now....

Atlantic Dawn

The Gardaí probably send a letter to each station informing them of current stolen cars such is the shocking outdated level of technology they are given to use.

buried

Probably stalked them on facebuke too

Yes that was 2012 reg, when I said resolved though I meant on newer built cars.

Ah yeah ... Boom times back, 3 extremely high value cars for one household.... poor earth..

Atlantic Dawn

Every Garda car fitted with ANPR would solve thousands of crimes and save the Garda budget millions, complete idiotic system at the moment.

Atlantic Dawn

Make sure you are not looking at a cloned car so to speak and the history from a legit car.

You'd be surprised how common this is.
We do it on occasion ourselves!

Atlantic Dawn

Lets open every single container leaving the port so to speak, it will be simple, only need about 500 staff a day working on that.
