We had a half day today, before driving off to Dieppe and the ferry. We went to a part of the forest we had not been to before - Sucremont - and parked up.
After following a yellow route we cam back to the car, and I could not understand why the remote did not flash the lights ... there was no obvious damage, except the drivers key lock had been "pulled" ... I guess the alarm had chased the thieves away and prevented them from ransacking the car, but did colour my attitude from then on. don't leave anything on display, always park reversing in, hide all valuables well, make sure you park in a popular spot.
This put a dampener on the weekend, but we still ha a car and it was fine to drive, just did not lock properly. I had to get the garage to replace the lock on our return to the UK.
