After issue after issue I'm now wondering whether my CL600 is one of those bad luck cars. With the ongoing issue of the leaking roof, this morning I was presented with the latest issue.
As I went out to my car I noticed the door locks were up, and then as I looked inside there were receipts all over the floor, and the elbow rest compartment was open. Someone had broken into my car, luckily there was nothing of value left in the car, and it appears nothing was taken.
I know I locked the car yesterday evening. I know I did the OCD extra lock of it when I went to bed. And today I've done a test of the delayed self lock the car does itself if you fail to lock it, and it works, probably lying the car about 20 seconds after closing the door.
So it looks like someone out there either has something to block the locking signal, or maybe something that can clone the code from the key to the car. Has anyone come across this in the past? I now wonder if they may have been disturbed and left in haste, and could return with their widget, and if it's cable of starting the engine then it could be the next time. Right now there's no then I can do about it, but thought I'd ask if anyone out there is aware of these things?
