The thieves would have been wiser to take something, anything to make the narrative of the original break in more believable. They didn't sell the narrative well enough, which left people curious.
- giarc 8y agoMaybe there was nothing in the car, but you are correct, should have taken something or at least opened the glovebox to make it seem like they were searching for valuables and found nothing.
- Nasrudith 8y agoI wonder why they bothered with the smash - broken glass would make people take their car to a dealer. Just the "failed jimmying" might have gone if not unnoticed as a police issue procrastinated in fixing. Maybe they were just frustrated auto thieves.
- TheCowboy 8y agoThe other one was an air pressure sensor, used for detecting sudden changes in air pressure. This is the sensor that will, among other things, detect a broken window. Might be related to tripping this sensor in advance.

- test6554 8y agoThere's an old saying about not committing more than one crime at a time.
- slededit 8y agoThe cops probably scared them away while they were in the act.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoGiven that they knew exactly which system to disable, they probably also knew that the call center will be contacted the second they broke the window, and the police could be there within minutes. I don't know how well secured anything stealable is nowadays, but I can imagine it'd take a few minutes to remove e.g. the navigation system.
