I went into the town centre (a good 20mins drive thankfully) to watch cinema with two mates; arrived around 8pm. Walking over the car park were 6 absolutely dodgy guys who looked like druggies. They were eye balling every car, going up to the windows, peering in, then trying the door handles. I phoned 101 let them know, they thanked me etc.
We exited the cinema at 11pm and 3 of the original 6 were still there, doing exactly the same thing over and over. Several cars had broken rear windows and one had a passenger side window broken from what we saw walking back to our car (heart in mouth). Fact is, this happens everywhere, under our noses, and people are afraid of challenging it incase the guys are tooled up. We decided to phone 101 as two of our group were drunk, else we may have challenged them.
Security is much of a muchness these days; what you are paying for is noise-level required to break-in, inconvenience, risk and time. You'll never stop someone determined from gaining access. Sadly, people ignore alarms, loud noises and even unusual people on someone else's land in some weird lassez-faire attitude similar to bystander apathy.
sadly you may have been sued if the thief did get hurt
