So they go to the trouble of installing CCTV then leave two doors unlocked..house occupants unharmed i assume ?
Proper scum those two, would love to have seen them walk into the wrong house and get a pasting on the CCTV, no clips like that around ?

Crowbar according to the video description
Yea the Door was unlocked
"Please view this video and help identify the people in it. On 7th June 2012 2 men burst into my home were my family were relaxing - catching me off guard, they threatened us with a crowbar, took these keys to our Audi S3. Call crime stoppers on 0800 555 111."

Sickening, looks like it was completely spur of the moment decision to steal it but they were riding around prepared to steal stuff (balaclava, crowbar) :S probably known to the local police.
I don't understand people who leave their doors unlocked, even if they are home, tho my inner door is always on the catch.

How come both layers of doors seemed to open dead easily?
Part of the reason most new handles/locks have a system where you can only enter the door from the outside by using the key - or if someone inside uses the handle.
Disappointing to say the least that this happens in the middle of the day, but that's why we have insurance I guess. Do have to wonder why they had cctv installed if they weren't particularly security conscious (i.e the door) - will be now though.

Because neither was locked, you can see by watching closely no attempt to force the doors was made.

Gutted for the owner, try tracking down two youths in jogging bottoms trainers and hooded tops in Manchester, bet that won't be hard

Ah right, that's a nice simple explanation! Seems a bit of a rookie error after going to the effort of fitting CCTV
.
It was mentioned a couple of posts above yours.
Doors should be locked at all times regardless if you're out or not.
However when someone is threatened and with their family the safest bet would be to hand over their keys. Never know if the intruder has a weapon and such. I hope these absolute scum get caught.
Atleast the family were unharmed. Would have been lovely if the house was full of people and the intruders got a total backside wooping on cctv.
