Galaxy wasn't locked overnight, which some thieving scrote took advantage of. Luckily there wasn't anything worth stealing in it. They made off with about 30p.

I guess they didn't find my sunglasses, as they're still there. Just annoying that someone has been in my car.

They peel back the arch lining and plug into the headlamp loom to run an exploit

Lexus vunerability has been around for years - they've never bothered to fix it. Be interesting if they do now it's made the main news headlines.

Same with Alfa's - the radar port vunerability still exists even on the latest Giulia and Stelvio; I ended up buying a 3rd party fix (essentially an in-line adaptor).

"Thieves targeting Lexus cars as Range Rover thefts plummet"

Nice to see but still not being reflected in renewal premiums last time I ran a quick check :?

Profit levels must be maintained!

Although I'm feeling more benevolent to insurers than normal as of late as I recently added my IWC and Rolex onto the house insurance and the additional premium was only a couple of hundred quid extra for the year. That is perhaps a 30% uplift on the total but given the risk they represent out of the home I didn't think it was unreasonable.
