I must I have always used my remote and very often again from a distance just to make sure I hadn't forgotten
I have a brilliant feature on my car. Toyota corrolla. I can lock the seats and lock the boot so only the key will open it. Everything of value that i need to keep in my car eg.Sat Nav is kept in the boot till needed. A good place is the hollow in the centre of the spare wheel. that way nothing will damage it as there is a sheet of heavy plastic over it.
well if they want an england flag and a tube of cream they can go for it, Thanks for the warnibg PJ
I have nothing but a pound coin in my car that i use for the trolleys when shopping.
God, some people will try anything. Saddo's!!
