Sue...sorry to hear of your misfortune...I was on nights on Thursday, and we were busy just up the road in Woodlesford where 2 cars were stolen from an address, along with another one from Great Preston. Due to some excellent teamwork, we recovered all 3 within a couple of hours, and even managed to get one of the thieving little scumbags locked up. Unfortunately we were not aware of your motors going walk-about. I am assuming that they got in by snapping the lock on the patio-doors ?? This is the favourite trick at the moment, and is all too easy to do unfortunately... as TRB can also testify !!!!
The best crime prevention advice I can offer people (a bit late for you Sue I know), is ALWAYS set the alarm on a night (if you have one obviously !!), put the car in the garage if you can, and take the car keys upstairs with you, 'cos without them, they cannot drive your car away !!
