2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

Scumbags

JUST been to B and Q to take the landrover for a spin as it hasnt been used for a week normally three to four weeks pass with no use and sitting on the driveway. Just got out the truck and stood back to look how good it looks (as we all Do) and thought something looks missing and took me a minute to notice that some theiving scum bag has stolen my 30 inch lighbar and my new rigid industries hyperspot spot lights off the front of my roofrack. The annoying thing is it must have been last night on the drive way. Just looked at my pir spotlight with inbuilt camera and nothing triggered for over a week. The next door neighbour is a copper and is going to look at his camera who just informed me that his RR sport had his spare robbed two weeks ago. Ive got to wait until my 18 year old son to come back and look at the security cameras pointed at all the cars on the drive. But dont hold my breath as if the scum bags can see the infrared of the cameras and crook lock,handbrake to gear stick lock, another alarm and shire safety pedal lock they must be pretty good as there is no evidence of tampering or damage to the truck (absolutely no brushed up against marks in the Dust). they must have watched the truck evolve over the last few weeks as I was running some cheap eBay led spots that look like the rigid industries. JUST glad that the trucklights are still delayed on back order in Germany or they might have gone too. Looks like going to have a clifford alarm alarm fitted now with the perimiter warn away sensors and sod the neighbours. The area im in is DUDLEY in the West Midlands so if you are offered any cheap expensive lights please let me know.

Hi sorry to hear about this bloody thieving &@();:/¥$€ nothing seems safe anymore,the reason I'm replying is we had a Clifford sense and tell alarm fitted to two vehicles in the past,absolutely brilliant in my opinion,only one serious attempt to have one of the vehicles it sensed and warned and I chased them out of the culdesac we live in,from memory I believe it actually told you via a small speaker fitted inside the vehicle where the violation was? I hope they are caught and you get your items back

Cheers Paul tash n barney

JUST a worry where all the wires can go with a Clifford alarm as you know an extra 12v socket meets a challenge.

I'm becoming ever more glad I live way out in the country.
I hate the idea of having to turn my home into a fortress.

Make sure your cameras doesn't overwrite anything whilst you wait for your son to come home to check the footage. I've got 2 cameras with 1tb of storage, they only hold around 15 days worth in HD format

Got footage at 1.15 am two hoody youths casually walk up and strip the lights off covering there faces . Took Four and a half minutes to take. One as look out and one undooing the nuts. Got a feeling this wasnt the first time they have been interested as when I fitted them the night after I noticed one was slightly out of alignment and put it to a trip to Wales and bumpy roads being the culprit and that I was being paranoid .How wrong I was. Getting a clifford warn away system fitted now as ive seen footage from the copper next doors cctv. Pikey scum.I have been trawling round a few undesirable esates in the hope of seeing them on a l200 or navarra .With a well lit Street and cctv on mine and the neighbours this aint going stop them trying to rob it.

Absolute tossers.

Can only hope someone else catches them tampering and manages to aprehend them using 'reasonable force'

I had a similar experience in York with my last truck. Walking back to the Defender after having lunch.. then I see a guy with a crowbar trying to pry my door open and a look out, drove away in a Mondeo with no plates as soon as I turned up. Door paintwork was f**** shame you can't have anything nice anymore without someone trying to take it!

The truck also had Dislok on and clutch claw!

I live way out in the country too and i've just installed an 8 camera CCTV setup with night vision and also LED security lights all around my property. It's rural places that are getting hit big time according to our local police chappie that updates all the local farmers etc. I've put a snap off steering wheel on it, an x defend pedal lock alongside many other measures and even park my Discovery across the front of it while it's backed up tight to a wall and my son (bless him) parks his little Citroen C1 up the one side. All have the steering locked and 'should' be difficult to budge. As i'm so fond of saying, I don't need to stop them, I just need to slow them down enough to get my heavy boots on and grab my pick axe handle! Then a trip up to the local disused mine shafts and they'll never be heard from again!
