Wife's car stolen from our driveway overnight

A bit of a shock this morning to find my wife's car missing from the drive. :eek:

Had to double take as the wife is away with her work (school teacher on a trip with pupils) and I thought "She didn't take her car".
No forced entry, keys still in the house and haven't been able to find out when it disappeared as nothing activated on neighbours door cam.

Police informed, but little they will do until it turns up somewhere and insurance notified. Not the best start to the day.

Keyless start yes.
Just use the key to lock/unlock. Quite village on a quiet cul-de-sac.

Urgh.

You didn't have the keys in a Farady box?

No, and I suspect 99% of other people don't either, but the keys are about 25ft away from a door.

What car? Worth seeing if theres a stolen car group for your area. I see many people post about random cars parked in their road and turns out they have been stolen and parked up.

Ford Fiesta Titanium (2014) - Posted it up on our local village facebook group, but it could be long gone by now - especially with the full tank of petrol in it.

Seen a short snippet of the neighbour's CCTV which shows someone hanging around the car for several minutes around between 2:55am-3am.

Waiting to see more as it looks like they've wirelessly gained access. Seems Fiesta's are easy targets too.
