Stealing Alfa Romeo Stelvio/Giulia... soooo easy

All

This happened to me a few weeks ago.....it is so easy for them to do.

Keyless entry was off / faraday pouch for keys.

I would strongly recommend a Ghost Alarm and/or Driveway Bollards for owners.

Stay safe.

My Stelvio Quad is (was) frankly an astonishing machine, I am going to get another (or a Giulia).

I wouldn't let this put you off per se, most modern cars can be nicked via tech providing the thieves can get a few minutes with it.

Once you are spending a bit on a car, you just need to budget in a bit more to protect your asset.

Local police and web verify that a Ghost alarm makes theft all bar impossible (flatbed aside).

Annoyingly I was looking at fitting one...wasn't aware of how easy they were to steal until it happened, would have done immediately if i had known.

Sold overseas or used as a criminal pool car for a while.

They do also strip them down for parts…why range rovers are so popular with thieves given how much they break down 😊

Could you provide details of this chap please, will definitely fit to the replacement (plus a Ghost Alarm)
