Today I got the door lock and ignition barrels re-keyed. I last used the car at 9:30pm and then at 10:30pm I heard someone brake hard outside my house. As we live near a notorious intersection I figured it was 'just another near miss' BUT then my wife screamed out to me that OUR car was on the road.
I ran outside in only my undies to see, sure enough my AU on the road.

Looks like the bastards have come back, used the keypad to open the door, pushed it out of the driveway, tried to start it, failed and buggered off.

What do you think will happen from here? Do you think I can expect another 'visit'?
They've made an attempt to take the car with FAIL.

The next thing to do is change the reypad to a new one thats different to the one they have.
Goodluck.
