Is there perhaps a connection? Are the car guards informing the people responsible for theft? Is this a syndicate thing that targets car hire vehicles which are known to be insured and possibly less fussed over?

We have a similar scenario here in James: foreign student accomodation in
several houses, backpackers around the corner, several rental cars always
parked in our road. These are often the cars which are being stolen,
un-batteried or broken into. We have had an additional problem with car
guards trying to extort exorbitant protection sums from these travellers,
with refusal being met with a smashed window upon return.

Hallo,

Car was stolen from outside 6 Irwell Street,

Its strange that all cars that are vandalised or damaged, broken into, and
now stolen, are those that are Hire Cars for students staying at Makulu
Lodge.

Sometimes I think there is someone on the street who is responsible.

I did report the theft to OBSID and the police.

Thanks.

My neighbours informed me this morning that they discovered that the
battery was removed from the car.

Thanks
