So last night someone gained access to our VW Polo on our drive, went through every crook and cranny to steal our TomTom only but left everything else out on the seats like mints, papers etc. I only found out when I got into the car in the morning to drive to work, didn't hear a thing through the night.
Someone at work has talked about this sort of thing happening around our area and to them, the thieves use some sort of device to open the car lock by scanning an area for the fob code and then replicating it to basically just unlock your car. So they must just sit around in the evening waiting for people to come home and scan a load of fobs, then return in a week or something
Financially not that of an issue, £100 tom-tom, ok can replace with £40 from eBay....but anyway to stop this happening? I presume we need to take it to VW and get them to reset the code.
