Barbarian , you are right.
the modus operandi ,
6am in morning, i hear rustling sound outside my bedroom !, like rats squeaking.
rush to see outside the window from 2nd floor saw my car is missing from porch and my autogate is wide open.
press the panic alarm key, it must have startle him, thats when i open the door and see the bugger run away.
they are using a white color W number plate, non local, its likely Lexus GX300 , Mazda 6 ,* i did not wear my spec when i chase them thus unable to read the plate !!!!!.
post motem,
1. they are proffessional , they know how my door operate ( mine is a 1 large door + 1 half door = 1.5 door size wood door ) they use some tools to unscrew the hinge , on top of that mine is a double lock, 1 normal key lock + 1 magnetic lock )
2. they stole my wallet , watch and my car key, at first they tried to open my autogate ( arm type via hydrolic ) but i guess they manage to find my house key ! ( advise , put all key and wallet in bedroom )
3. they tried to pry open my bedroom door , however i change my bedroom door when i move in to heavy wood and better lock , thus the failed attempt
in summary, the bedroom door saved me and my wife live, i cringe when i think what happen they manage to open the door , tie us up ? , force us to atm ? , open the safe ? ...
all item is left intact other than my car , wallet and my cheap seiko watch. the rest my notebook , pc , lcd , camera , all the rest are left intact. thank god my wedding ring was not stolen .
now revert back to old way add one more wood bar at door ( like those ancient Chinese house ) and more grill to prevent people from breaking in. lost of property is ok, but if lost of live to these scumbag is another .
thanks all, ya seems like my recovery chance is low , now can only expedite the claim process and get another 5er , maybe this time i get a 530 instead of 525 if the claim allow.
thats why looking for 2nd hand e60 now , but a waste on all the aftermarket mod i add to it ( ccc conversion , + ACM + Dension ).
