Nissan Gt-R 3.8 BLACK EDITION RED STOLEN.......

[Lankan]

.....soon after a viewing by two prospective buyers: Nissan Gt-R 3.8 BLACK EDITION RED JUST STOLEN!!!!

"They posed as real genuine buyers and we believe they copied the key signal with a device after they had a good look around and we agreed a price. So to ANYONE selling a car with this type of key technology, be extra careful. I dont want this to happen to you."

Feel for the poor chap, so do share his appeal on Facebook to spread the word: Facebook appeal

This is becoming a real problem, so many BMWs are susceptible to this method - a friend's X5 was 'broken into' and stuff inside stolen whilst parked overnight on their drive, but there was no sign of forced entry at all! At least in that instance the vehicle itself was untouched.

This is the first time I have heard of the above scenario. Best is to not have viewings at one's own premises, or where a vehicle is going to be parked up on a regular basis.

Anybody else have such an experience, or know of someone who has been subjected to such a thing?

The advent of keyless entry seems to have made things easier for the TWOC'ing scum.

My boss's 10-plate Focus RS was in our swipe access work car park, right by the entrance and visible to the public road, under security cameras in broad daylight and three thieves smashed the drivers window and tried to steal it. Luckily he'd messed with the OBD port so it wasn't easily start-able and a Security guard was on rounds and ran into them (not that he did anything much). The car they escaped in was on cloned plates so never got anywhere with the Police.

My mum and dad both had ford keyless go cars a b max and Kuga. They have both been stolen of there drive without keys overnight, in the last two weeks. Took the b max first and then came back for the Kuga 4 days later, no broken glass just cars gone.

Makes me laugh all this fancy keyless entry etc etc. Fitted to cars for no other reason than to make owners feel abit techy because a chunky key, locking a noisy solid dead lock is just faaaar too lower class. Not so lower class when its driving down the road with somebody else in it. Its exactly the same with work vans. They sell them with fancy fobs, keyless toot etc etc. First thing most tradesmen do with thousands of pounds worth of kit is fit a simple aftermarket old skool dead lock. No ammount of fancy laptop know how will get you in then. You need the key! Somethings in my opinion have no benefit in being digital or hi tech.
