Hello all again. How easy is it to get into a fl2? A neighbour said he saw someone INSIDE my car late at night outside our house. I find it difficult to believe as there was no evidence whatsoever, but I've now started to put a steering wheel lock on, which I haven't done for years with any car. I can't see how anybody can get into the car without alarms going off etc, but he seemed convinced he'd seen someone and it wasn't me or my wife.

Did you lock it? Why would you leave the car if you were in it, that's the hard part, bypassing ignition with access to the obd isn't too difficult. I would say it's ok, just check your insurance and make sure you have both keys incase of a claim

Was the car locked the following morning?
If it was I doubt anyone was in there, possibly a reflection on the window?

I have fitted LED lamps in the interior lights, at night is is very very bright and very conspicuous, check the alarm sensor on the roof, well documented on here that many simply do not work but easy to fix

Open the drivers window, lock the vehicle, Double Lock it, give it a couple of minutes for the Alarm to set, when you put your arm in the open window if it goes the alarm go off or not

Maybe it was innocent. Years ago I was collecting the company mail from the PO box. Walked back to my company Toyota, got in, started the car & was just about to drive off. But the car didn't feel quite right, don't know what is was, it was nice and clean but something was strange. Then I saw an identical white Toyota in the rear view mirror...... then it hit me, that was actually my car!

Quickly got out, locked the car & got into mine. Funny thing is I felt guilty about almost driving off with the wrong car simply because I had been distracted by the addressees on all the mail. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I tried to open my old Volvo years back and was very impatient with it till I spotted the roof rack

I once dropped off my teenage niece at a motorway service station. The plan was to meet another uncle who had a silver Granada estate. We saw the car across the car park and a middle aged guy was asleep in it. She planned to get in the car quietly and surprise him when he woke up. I was about to drive off and leave her getting in the car when luckily I realised that it was the wrong car.!!!  3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

You could consider fitting CCTV to the house keep an eye on the vehicle over night? MY 2012 HSE LUX

I could but I'm not very good at diy, especially diy, combined with technology - cameras & hard drives etc. I've got our security light working, which is something!

I still maintain that this in an unlikely scenario - if it was a smash and grab, that would be obvious, if it was to set up to steal the car, then the car would be gone. Find a specsavers for your neighbour
