We live just off Goose Green and had someone try to steal our car on Saturday night.


I want to let locals know that there is likely a gang "doing the rounds" trying to steal cars using an easy method, which might be just as easy to guard yourself against.


Our car has keyless entry and ignition. We normally park right ourtside our house, and keep the keys safely hidden indoors.


Sadly there is an easy way to hack keyless tech: Robbers can buy relay boxes off the internet which detect your keys in the house and use that signal to miimc the key and unlock your car.


We were lucky, they got into the car but couldn't hack the ignition. We never keep valuables in the car, so they left empty handed.


Easy way to protect yourself from this crime: keep your car keys in a biscuit tin, or the fridge or microwave!

    • Labour was right not to increase fuel duty - it's not just motorists it affects, but goods transport. Fuel goes up, inflation goes up. Inflation will go up now anyway, and growth will stagnate, because businesses will pass the employee NIC hikes onto customers.  I think farms should be exempt from the 20% IHT. I don't know any rich famers, only ones who work their fingers to the bone. But it's in their blood and taking that, often multi-generation, legacy out of the family is heart-breaking. Many work to such low yields, and yet they'll often still bring a lamb to the vet, even if the fees are more than the lamb's life (or death) is worth. Food security should be made a top priority in this country. And, even tho the tax is only for farms over £1m, that's probably not much when you add it all up. I think every incentive should be given to young people who want to take up the mantle.
