I had 4 people on my driveway at 3am last Monday trying remove the front passenger side my headlight.
They pulled back the wheel arch trim and then pulled the bumper back. This gave them limited access to the engine bay where they disconnected the headlight. Fortunately the alarm went off and they scarpered. I heard the alarm and looked out the front but saw nothing wrong. I assumed it was the weather causing the alarm so I just turned it off. It wasn't until the morning when i was going out that i saw the damage and only when I started to drive did I notice the headlight was disconnected.
Some people advised that headlights are being stolen because they can cost a lot to replace, others say they may have been trying to get to the wiring to start the car and steal it.
Anyone else had any problems with theft of their headlights or car theft via the wiring?
Interested to hear other views on the possibility of stealing the car after accessing the wiring?
