Two cars stolen after keys hooked
TWO cars, including a new Mercedes, were taken after thieves hooked car keys through a letter box.
A 2008 silver Mercedes and a 2006 silver Ford Focus were taken between 11.30pm on Tuesday and 2am on Wednesday from a house in the Woodway/Holtspur Lane area of Beaconsfield.
A device was used to get the keys.
Police believe there were at least two people involved. They are appealing for witnesses.
PC Alex Gillett, said: "I am appealing for anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area, witnessed the burglary or has any information to contact me or Crimestoppers.
"I also want to remind people of the importance or storing all keys out of sight of any doors or windows and keep them in a hidden in a safe and secure place to help prevent any further similar offences.
"Please be extra vigilant and should you see something similar and suspicious please contact us immediately."
If you have any information call police on 08458 505 505 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

How many times to people need to be warned about where they leave the keys, put them away ! I do feel for them though, but it is a lesson to be learned.

Wooooh
De ja vu this happened a few months ago in the same area, except the tool used was a stick whittled to look like a snooker queue.
This (again) reeks of a credit crunch/insurance fraud/ can’t afford the repayments inside job to me…

Many people hang their keys on boards near the door, someone calls, the householder absents themselves, key impressions could be taken and no one knows anything has occurred, until they return from a holiday. The warnings are regularly mentioned about key care.
