Another trick used, is to move your wheelie bin across your drive after it's been emptied on bin day. You get home,& get out so you can move the bin to get down your drive. Johnny Toerag jumps out & jumps into your car which is often left running & away they drive!!!  :-?  :-?  :-?

Another hoax

It's not!  :-?
Various expensive cars have been reported stolen like this up the road nearer Manchester from me .... where the money is!  It's easier to nick a modern car with the keys aready in than fish through your letter box for the key.

.... I have seen people on a cold frosty morning run into the newsagents for a paper/fags etc. and leave their car running despite all the warnings about insurance being void etc.
 

Which is exactly how a lad from work had his car taken.  :-?

before buying my mig, i had a nissan 300zx, this had a remote starter fitted so on a frosty morning i could clear my screen without unlocking the car, or going outside, and should anyone break in it had a security device added that if the brake peddle was pressed (auto) or clutch (man) the engine would cut out if the keys were not in! this was a very handy bit of kit.

Turbo timer works the same way in our car, touch the throttle or release the handbrake before the key is back in the ignition and everything is killed.
