Thanks Alastair, I can spend more time rocking, gibbering and foaming at the mouth now!
You do it so well and look so comfortable I thought you'd appreciate more time to spend doing it!

Correct. It’s been a problem and a headache for car manufacturers for a while now. BMW especially. It’s just becoming more common apparently. But this is allegedly the first time it’s been videoed taking place.
There are quite few videos showing this but i think this is reported to be the first in the Midlands.

I guess the more crims realise how easy it is , the more will participate in this sort of car theft
Also we have more dark hours at present and from a criminals perspective it' relatively low risk (especially compared to breaking and entering or carjacking).
