• Off topicish, but woke up this morning and both mine and the neighbour's ring doorbells had duct tape put over them at 2.30 in the morning.

    Amongst other things, I'm worried they were covering the camera so they could spend time relating/cloning the key signal (key was in the hallway). Car was still there though and seemingly untouched.

    I've ordered a couple of Faraday bags, but not sure what's best to do if they did clone it but didn't drive off (though not sure why they'd do that).

    Any suggestions what to do in the meantime? I can't see a way of setting it to key only opening (it's a '21 plate Octavia VRS)

  • Thanks - I thought about it too late to get a steering wheel lock for tonight, but have let a couple of tyres down and will leave the window open tonight.

    I'll take it to get the key recoded tomorrow and will start using Faraday bags.

    I'm sure I'm overthinking it: it's more likely something to do with the neighbours (who had the police visit at 4am a few weeks ago). Why would you leave the tape on the camera if your wanted to come back and steal the car, surely you'd remove it so it didn't flag anything suspicious?

    Anyway looking forward to a light night's sleep, jumping to the window every time a fox rattles the milk bottles/bins...
