That's very sad news. But who would want to steal a Tamora? They are too conspicuous and rare and will be easily spotted sooner or later. Also there is very little TVR technical support abroad to make it worth exporting. It is probably a joy-rider affair and, hopefully it will turn up soon. How did they get past the imobilisor? Please keep us posted!

Stolen to order looks the most likely, as they used bolt cutters on the main compound gate, padlock missing.

There are three cctv units, all active, but the monitoring station reported nothing, suprise,suprise.

Prehaps the bloke watching the camera's fell asleep, or went for a pee or a coffee, for it was all done in a couple of mins.

Fecking crims, I hope that something really nasty happens to the w**kers.

Sand in their Vaseline is a good trick (so I'm told)

It's a system triggered by movement sensors, eight camera's,but only records on the "active" unit, if someone or something triggers camera one, then the alarm at the monitor end sounds off and it's up to the operator to stay on that situation or return the system to the eight unit sequence If he's not looking, the system will stay on camera one until the "movement" sensor stops detecting. No system is foolproof, but I do think that we were a touch unlucky that the operator was away from station or otherwise engaged for the 2 mins that it took to remove our car, no doubt the police will be having a few words!!!!!!! In defence of the monitoring company, they could have one chap looking at 50/100 screens at any one time so human error is the weak link in the chain, surfice to say , we will be changing the way we do things in the future. Mistakes can be costly, more so if you don't learn from them.

If I could get close enough to contaminate their vaseline, I'd take the oppertunity to "remove" the objects of their affection, then display same to prove my point that all car crims are just little pricks who can't keep their hands to themselves like normal w**kers.

Why is it that crims that steal TVR's never break down,run out of fuel, overheat, or have the alarm go off.

Its strange enough stealing a TVR to order,but to nick a Tamora is very strange.It will have to visit a S6 specialist at some point,so surely it will be ID at that time.No matter how much you grind of the ID marks its still a S6 engine

Very

Hope its found soon

You need to concentrate on access control not CCTV. As you said humans are the weak link.
I'm glad that I have tracker!
