• Other than me forgetting to lock it (unlikely but possible) how can someone get in to my 2020 Skoda, rifle through the crap I leave in there, then get wildly frustrated at the lack of stashed away Rolex under the seats only to steal my iPhone charge cable in a fit of pique due to the aforementioned volume of crap and nothing else of note - without the car alarm going off?

  • You forgot to lock it.

    I did the same years ago, I was emptying the car after a Christmas trip to in-laws and with all my hands full I thought I'd lock the car from the kitchen window once I'd put all the bags down.

    I forgot to lock it and someone stole 2 pairs of prescription glasses, my (5th gen!!) iPod, and the proprietary cable to go with the iPod (the most annoying bit).

    I was certain that I locked it and the thief performed magic, but occam's razor and that.

    Had a flashback about 3 months later that I dropped the bags in the kitchen then ran to the toilet because I was desperate for a shit and then forgot all about locking the car.

  • Most likely right. I was unloading bike gear and it’s a handful.

    Could have been worse because on the same day someone else’s car was stolen.
