On this topic, I haven't reported it yet, but they tried to steal my car (Opel Kadett Cub) too, actually, they managed to steal my car on the night of Sunday 7th of March. They broke the steering wheel lock and the mechanic later told me that they used the hazard lights to start the car (these guys knew what they were doing!). Fortunately for me the immobiliser was faulty and once the thieves arrived at the bottom of the road, the immobiliser kicked in and the car stopped. A friend of mine found it there the following day.
Car thefts definitely seem to be on the rise!
