Just today after parking in the underground parkade of a local supermarket I decided to check out my theory that in this parkade for some reason my van was being broken into (likely by a person with one of devices tow truck drivers use when you lock your keys inside).
Sure enough, when I got back to the van about 10 minutes after I parked I found the front door button up although I had made sure that I pushed the locking button down as I was getting out.
I didn't see anybody around the car this time, but from now on in the parkade I will check sooner as well as take a quick walk around vehicles parked nearby to see if I see anybody suspicious sitting in one of them. And of course I'll make sure that I leave nothing valuable where it can be grabbed easily.
Maybe someone will come up with some type of video monitor and sensor that could transmit a signal to your cell phone --complete with a picture of the culprit in the meantime just be careful too. Remember to check back on your vehicle after leaving it in suspect areas. You just might catch some thief in the act of breaking into your vehicle.
