Hard to see exactly what they did but looks way too easy.

What were they doing? In broad daylight too, astonishing.

I’m not going to add anything to a public forum but it’s way too easy. It’s not just Alfa’s that are at risk unfortunately.

Couple of links, thieves won't learn anything from them they don't already know -

Afternoon all, I think I'm in the first stage of this. Radar has gone, cable and bracket left. Either they got disturbed or couldnt complete the theft for whatever reason. Alfa have been next to no help either, all they car about it telling me over and over it impossible for it to drop out and its not covered under warranty, followed swiftly by we will price it for you.

Guy on AO forum had his stolen - 11am on a Sunday morning, broad daylight! Two guys held his front door closed while he yelled at them from the window. Wasn't even a QF, it was a Giulia Speciale.

Madness.

Either attempted theft of the car, or someone wanted your radar as theirs has been nicked..

Head here and speak to metalgod23, he'll sort you out.

Do you know if they got access to the cabin at all? If so, they may have managed to program a key in which case you'll want to keep the car somewhere secure.
