That i would agree with so i guess the rest is down to good old opinion again but i know i will be looking where i park more carefully over the darker nights...
i would feel more than a bit peeved if i lost four years worth of no claims because of said scroates, yes the insurance will pick it up but you're gonna pay for it in the long run if they do.
Good luck.
Well it's the sad state of society today. Most of the people that commit the sorts of crime to our cars that you and I worry about are young kids with nothing better to do with their time.
And because they get away with it more often than not the situation just worsens. No matter how far you go you can't win ultimately. My car got broken into on my drive. Did anyone care my alarm was going off? No, otherwise I would have been greeted by the police when I got home instead of having to wait until I climb into my car to realise the stereo, etc was all gone and then wait 3 hours for someone to come out. I had to fork out up front for that as they said my insurance wasn't valid because the car wasn't secure!
Now I just don't worry about it because if I did I may as well not own the damn thing.
So whilst I understand why you would carry out various things to try an minimise risk, I just think it's rather fruitless.
