I'd watch it all night if you can, just to be safe but they might be back.
Easier said than done I know so I do sympathise. At least they failed. |

It's still here this morning. Hopefully the police will be here to finger print it later as it has a big greasy hand mark on it. Unfortunately the scum now also know the rear door is chained so it only opens a few inches.
I've only had the thing 3 weeks it must be a record. Other half is not impressed and wants me to get shut of it. One thing that did worry me was the alarm stopped sounding after 30 secs to a minute even though the back door was open. Is this normal? 2014 - current ..... 2003 defender td5 90 (my car) 2009 - current .... 2005 zx10r |

Sorry to hear
Glad you still have tho. I this isn't the be all and end all but anyone considered putting a 'peg' on the fuel line to prevent it going too far? What about a bit of string from prop to fuel line (damage limitation and all that?) |

don't listen to me but I'm sure it is correct.....something to do with keeping the peace. house alarms do the same. I believe on both you can adjust the run time and on house alarms I believe there is a max time period 5 or 15 mins?
hopefully someone else can confirm. |

Recommendations are that residential property alarms should silence themselves after 20 minutes. If the alarm continues after 20 minutes it can constitute a "Statutory Nuisance" and police can obtain an order from a magistrate to enter the premises and silence it. I guess this only happens where the alarm is ringing for days rather than hours.

It's getting a better alarm and imobiliser fitted later now anyway with a proximity alarm which will chirp. Should be enough to wake the hounds at least! 2014 - current ..... 2003 defender td5 90 (my car)
