Car theives in leeds

[Russ_leeds]

seems like leeds is getting worse for this. on friday night someone tried breaking into my house, smashing the lock on the side door. police reckon it was to get the keys for my car. seems loads of houses are getting done for this recently. love to catch the barstewardss!!!

Tw*ts aren't they. Make sure your keys are upstairs with you when you go to bed. You'd be surprised how ingenious the thieving scrotes can be!

Not the best idea! If they break in and get the keys downstairs at least its only a car and can be replaced, if they have broken in and the keys are upstairs you put yourself and your family at risk!

They are unlikely to come upstairs mate. If they wanted a confrontation they'd just walk in through the day/eve, give you a slap and take the keys. The idea is to make the neighbours house more attractive to burgle. They majority of the time they only come in if they can see the keys in the back of the door, on the side table by the dor etc etc.

This is of course just my opinion and regardless they are scrotes  . My keys are by my bed, along side my old mate Percy Persuader, aka a rather nice rounders bat!

Exactly just keep them out of sight, always kept my keys to the Eddy upstairs and the one time they were on show, someone broke in. Its as if they were checking and waiting each night. Fortunately they picked up the VW key to the Passat and they didnt know how to start it.

I got told by the Police they usually have a lot of break ins on Sunday evenings as most people work mondays so an early night for most and people are unlikely to be coming home at all hours from nights out etc.

I used to live in Wibsey.

My mate had his car nicked from Pudsey and they found it 5 days later in Bradford. They broke in the house for the keys while they were asleep.

Its a judgement call ain't. I'd still keep em upstairs and if they do come up and get funny you can always just give them the keys.

Yup we have had a car nicked years ago and they also tried getting my ED30. Also had 2 motorbikes and 2 pedal bikes nicked and someone tried getting my Yamaha Banshee.

If someone goes through the hassle of breaking into your house I hardly think the keys being upstairs is gonna stop em

Clearly we all have different opinions. Personally I keep all car keys out of sight and do what we can to put people off wanting to attempt our house. CCTV, Security lights, snap locks and stoppers on all the doors, alarm, security post and chained gates. The extent we go to, to protect our hard earned goods is just stupid.

I always panic when i have to visit  & park in Leeds. Glad i live in Harrogate & lucky to have a garage.

I live in Leeds too and have been victim to theiving b@stards. We continuously have our mk4 golf broken in to on the driveway to have the stereo stolen. It now doesn't have a head unit at all and I won't put one in until I sell it. The thieves aren't bothered about my new BMW or about my GTI because they have built in stereos whereas the mk4 is a standard single din unit that can be stolen and sold on easily.

After the last time, I bought a couple of new security flood lights for the house and the 1 night I forgot to turn them on... the theives did it again! I have now put up CCTV cameras and I'm hoping that might be enough to keep them away... probably won't though

B@astards! Luckily for me my car is shut away on the drive and if anyone opens the gates my dog usually goes mad anyway but we keep our keys locked in a safe at night :)
