Too many films.

Guy parked next to me was, without doubt a victim of crime. Either that or it was the best performance since Arnie in Twins!

No CCTV in that part of Lowndes Sq. Wrong side for the commission and too far from the tower.

Surprisingly, I knew to look for that. The only camera on that part was a non recording entry camera for one of the apartment blocks.

Holy thread resurrection.

I don't post here much any more but there are a few who might be interested in this.

After taking this to the Insurance Ombudsman and arguing the various points and definitions the insurance company was instructed to settle the claim. We received a cheque a few weeks back.

Streaky - your input was invaluable.

Well done op, the insurance companies these days wiggle out of far to much in my eyes.

Was this in private?
On the thread he posted a link to some key cloning machines and mentions some research on a way to potentially steal cars.
I'm not sure that counts as getting to the bottom of it, in fact if this was involved in the method of entry, the question would be why nick you cuff links and your laptop rather than just take the car with your stuff in it.
