Suspicious Car Theft
« on: November 13, 2011, 02:05:55 pm »
Ok I'm going to keep this quite brief and just give you the facts.

Car in question is a Nissan 370Z, automatic and almost brand new. It went 'missing' from outside the owners house whilst away on work. The owner had one key with her and another key was in the house which was occupied by her boyfriend. According to said boyfriend, no alarms, no noise... just no car when he woke up. The house was not broken into.

How easy is it to gain entry to cars these days.. and start them, and drive them away? And do it without a key?

Thoughts... ponderings... any comment at all might prove helpful.

Thanks

Rich

Are both the keys still there? Has the car got any previous owners which may have an old key?

Might have just turned up with a hi ab and just lifted the car up off the ground and taken it way like dvla/vosa do

No previous owners AFAIK.. i think it was an ex demo. One key was with the owner and one was in her house.

Mat... could have been but wouldn't the movement sensors trigger the alarm?

The car has been found and has some damage, but not sure to what extent yet.

That is true...

But how have they managed to get in and start the car without the key?

IMO What this screams at me is, Boyfriend took car for a spin got into a bit of trouble got a taxi home went to bed and denied all knowledge of said incident :innocent:

Just my opinion :happy2:

As said above maybe had some mates round had a few drinks then decided to go for a spin, lost it, hit something then rushed home and began thinking what he could tell the girlfriend

I know mike.... as soon as i was told about what had happened alarm bells started to ring. I hope I/we are wrong, but you cannot steal and start a car without a key. The final nail will be if there is no sign of forced entry/broken windows etc   :stupid:

Car cannot be driven without the key . Insurance will not pay out for this . Damage will be accident damage caused by boyfriend . Investigation closed :happy2:

I know of a BMW x6 that was stolen with a laptop and a screwdriver. Keys were locked in a secure box, took them a couple of minutes and was gone.

If it were that easy, there wouldn't be an X6 left on the road - they'd all be in containers heading overseas.

These are all myths and legends used in insurance fraud and where things don't add up. Such as this 370Z story.

I fear you are right mike. The fact is that new cars these days are pretty hard to steal, bare in mind this was on a public road, not a secluded spot.

Garrard, if that is the case RE: insurance... then mega  :sick: :sick: :sick:

Well my mate for jumped on his way home from the pub,hiss wallet, phone and keys nicked both house and car. His car was parked at pub. Audi wanted him to get the car to them so they could sort him out with a new one as he only had one. In the end got a local cap to meet him at the car with a blank key and laptop and did it all. How did he do that? And surely he could do it to mine or yours?
