Well don't know whether this is my lucky or unlucky day. Unlucky that I couldn't get my car moving, lucky that I got back in time to save my car from a break in attempt.
My car was parked on the street overnight, which I rarely do as I have a driveway. I was about to go out to rent a movie from Blockbuster around an hour ago. Started my car and about to leave, but my brake light sensor started acting on me again so I couldn't engage into gear. I gave up and rode in my friend's car - '02 A4 Votex kit.
I came back 20 mins later to try get the car going again. So when I got back, a few [teenager, caucasian] guys were "surveying" my car - very attracted and focused at my dash area (6th switch) where my LCD screen is mounted, alongside with my headunit and DVD player in that area. They were also "surveying" my OEM projector housing. A rather ghetto pick up truck was waiting down the street.
So my friend and I cruised down the street aproaching my car, they start looking at my friend's flashy A4. Okay they didn't seemed to be bothered but further look how to work their way into my car. Same deal when I stopped right next to my car. So as I did not say a word and unlocked my door and walked to my car, they didn't seem to care much but to stay around the area. As I leave they then slowly dismiss.
Oh yeah, bear in mind the street I live on is where a lot of cops and local politicians live.
Now I realize why all my friends have AV systems have car alarm security systems with a pager remote. Think I need some CCTV aiming at my driveway and in front of my house, and time to consider those alarm systems.
