My car was stolen from the drive overnight a couple of years ago. At that time, it seemed like cars were being nicked daily round here - don't know if it's any better now but I deleted the NextDoor app which highlighted all the crimes!

At the time the police said there was nothing they could do with no evidence to go on but a few months later they told us that it had been found in a chop shop in Kent. I'd already been paid by the insurance co, so it went back to them. I have checked and it's back on the road, so it clearly hadn't been stripped for parts at the point it was found.

I had bollards installed on the drive and I've not heard of anyone managing to get through these. The company who fitted them said it would take a long time with very noisy equipment to remove them, so fingers crossed they keep doing the job.

Very sorry to hear about your car Rayray - hope you get it back in one piece.
