Intruder gained access to locked car
My daughter left her locked A3 (59 plate) outside her home in W London for 3 days while abroad.
On her return and on getting into the car she immediately noticed the glove box contents on the floor and the rear seats collapsed forward and the boot contents disturbed- not as she had left it. There is no evidence of a breakin, no damage and both sets of keys are accounted for.. The car was locked before getting into it (this is independently verified by a passenger).
The pollce are not interested except by issuing a crime No. This is worrying as it is clear someone has a means of unlocking/locking this car - any idea as to what has gone on?

This is very common in the London region. The thieves get access to the remote security codes. Try key locking it instead.

My garage has informed me that my car will fail its MoT because the rear tailgate will not open. It's a Fiat 500. Are they correct? And if they are, what can I do?

Quality feel from behind the wheel. More practical and spacious than standard A3. Impressive choice of engines including excellent TFSI turbocharged petrols.
