Volkswagen Passat Security

So let me get this right. People left their windows open and blame Volkswagen for people breaking into their cars?

Did the thieves leave the windows open or did the owners?

The thiefs left the windows open after finding a way in through a problem with VW's security that allowed them to do so using no force at all!

Ok no problems. You didn't state it explicitly in the first post that's all

Right I thought the same as you Dan (

thats not good !) that the owners left the windows open for some reason

How about VW Passat station wagons?

Apparently the previous model of Passat (up to 05) all you had to do was take a hammer to the drivers door lock in one sharp hit and it would set the central locking off, no alarm...hey presto....5 laptops taken from 5 Passats at a company meeting...
