Last night the wife and I were woken at 1:00 am by a loud sound, followed by the sound of jangling keys. We leapt out of bed and raced downstairs shouting, by which time they were gone. They smashed a corner of the window next to the front door, and were either trying to open the door from the inside, or were rooting around in the bowl conveniently next to the window which contains our house keys (I believe that is what the jangling sound was). Fortunately the door was deadlocked, so they didn't come into the house.
Either this was some drugged out crazy person willing to burgle a house with people sleeping in it, or they were after the car and were looking for the car keys. The Model 3 is on the drive right in front of the house, and I live on a fairly busy road in SE London. I've lived in this house 6 years and never been burgled, this feels a bit too much like a coincidence (I've had the Model 3 since November).
It's incredibly worrying that there are thieves smart enough to look up the value of a Model 3 and decide "ooh I'll have that", yet not smart enough to realise it's not a normal car. Am I going to get another visit as they make a second attempt? What can I do about that?
I don't have a security camera (any recommendations?), and sentry mode wasn't enabled, so I've got no footage. The road is reasonably well lit, and based on the past 6 years experience I was too cocky I guess. Basically we didn't see a soul, didn't hear them running away, have no idea what we're dealing with (group of organised bandits, homeless person?).
As you can imagine we are extremely rattled by this, and don't know what to do. Ideas welcome.
