XC60 stolen from driveway
Hi,
On Sunday morning around 2.00am two 'gentlemen' walked onto my driveway where my 6 week old XC60 Inscription Pro was parked. 40 seconds later I can see it being backed out and then driven away. No glass or anything else could be seen on the driveway and I didn't know it had gone until 9.30am later that morning. This detail comes from my neighbour’s security camera but that's all I can see from the captured video. I called 101 (Met Police area) - waited for ages so I gave up and reported the theft online. I haven't heard anything from the police as yet. I have Volvo On Call active - that showed then as it does now 'Car is in use' and cannot be tracked. I called Volvo on Sunday at 10.00am but they could not connect to the car either. My dealer where I bought the car has not been very helpful either - just said 'very unfortunate that this incident has happened to you and where we can help we will do all we can'. I know that keyless entry is a risk to cloning but my dismay/annoyance is that the Volvo Tracking system can be blocked/disabled as quickly as the whole crime took less than a minute. I hope that do I see the car again but realistically it’s probably in a shipping container now. Steve |

That's a bit rubbish - really feel for you. I guess if you want to look for a 'bright side' - at least they didn't break into the house to find the key (as happened up the road from us a few weeks ago).
How close to the car/drive were your keys at the time? I'm trying to work out whether to keep keys in a metal container at night...

Since my wife and I have started keeping our car keys in a tin box we no longer have to search the house trying to find them so I definately recommend it.

I thought VOC had a tracking system.

VOC doesn't have a tracker as such, but it does record the car's last position when it was last switched off.
It doesn't give a position when the car is in use.

A metal tin will help but due to the physics involved won't be quite as effective as a Faraday pouch.

Just read MadProf’s post. Surely better than having the car stolen??

Problem is if they can't connect to the car (maybe in a steel box like a shipping container) or the battery has been disconnected etc. they won't get anything...
That being said I can't believe they don't have the last known location...? Does the app display a last location once the vehicle is turned off? If you call VOC with a crime ref they might switch into a different "mode" and be more helpful? |
