Yes. It happened here. Not the smartest of thieves. He was arrested and later charged with attempted murder too.

That's the Owlcam. I tried that out 6 months ago, had issues with the app though at the time that 'they' couldn't resolve.

Ultimately went with the Raven Dashcam.. Same application w/ OBD2 plug and play connection, Front and Interior monitoring while parked and driving & with 4G connectivity for alerts to the phone.

Will ping you with alerts when it senses motion / movement. Having a convertible, I like the keep the top down most of the time and as I don't have factory alarm, like to know if anyone sticks their hands in the car.

Also will record if you wave hand past it in the car (for those scary moments you want to have video on.)

I like the Raven because it also has the ability to show 2 different gauges (or GPS directions if you like) on the interior facing. I have it set up with Coolant Temp and Battery Charge.

Same here, I run the windows up and with the gearbox in 1st gear, the handbreak set and doors locked I figure it's millennial proof (that 3rd pedal is a horror). There's nothing laying around loose to attract attention either.
