Hi

My wife has a two month old GT V6, which she loves and is a great car.
A couple of mornings ago around 4.00am we were woken by a neighbour who told us she had been woken by a couple of "lads" who had pulled up in front of the house, one had got out and was looking into the GT on our drive then came up to the front of our house.
After seeing her looking at them, he got back in their car and they quickly drove off.

Obviously we suspect they were trying to make off with the GT.

Does anyone know just how effective the factory alarm and immobiliser is? have any GT's been stolen without having the keys?
Since the lad came upto the house I presume he may have been looking to see if the keys were anywhere obvious. But we do feel somewhat vulnerable.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers
Geoff

Thanks David. It is a UK car, are Thatcham Cat1 alarms secure enough to basically stop anyone driving the car away without the keys? (other than spending a long time rewiring the immobilised circuits).

Cheers
