I employed high quality CCTV front, rear, side, and indoors along with several high lux passive infra red floodlights, new windows/doors with laminated glass all round, anti-bump barrels, handles/locks removed where possible and a few other secret measures.

Already had one criminal who wanders around the estate trying car doors at 2am every so often, quality was so good the Police lifted him easy and jailed him, had 40 satnavs in his home, apparently given to him by a man in the street he'd never met!

Sorry not going into detail about my location, sure you understand.

Superb. You got some kind of infra red trigger to start recording / flag up an alert on the recording - hence you noticed him on your drive?

UK is one of the cheapest places you can buy a right hand drive cars, so it worth a lot more if it's shipped out to South East Asia. We've once sold a Mercedes E230 to a trader who then ship them out the Malaysia rather then sell them here.
