Hardly professional, they had the keys. I don't even keep the house/car keys together. The Diskloc key goes on my house keys and aint left behind when I park at home. Not that it would stop the profs, just slow em down a little

Still professional - they clearly knew what they were stealing.

Tis a shame

I wish they'd sort the installation side out.
Mine was left on the dash and all I got was my car back with crumbs on the seats

get a clifford blackjax, very good bit of kit
Blackjax
Carjacking Response & Vehicle Recovery System
BlackJax is Clifford's unique anti-carjacking response system that puts personal safety first while using innovative advancements to ensure that users can recover the vehicle themselves. If an armed car thief approaches – whether at a stoplight or in a parking lot (where most carjackings occur) – immediately turn over the keys and remote and let Clifford technology take over.
BlackJax is fully automatic: no buttons or transmitters to push when a gun is involved. Just get away from the vehicle. BlackJax allows the criminal to drive away a safe distance. Then, a few seconds later, BlackJax blares the siren and flashes the lights to alert other drivers and witnesses. It then pulses down the ignition system to safely force the vehicle to slow to a complete stop. Siren blaring and lights flashing, unable to restart the engine, the carjacker has no choice but to abandon the vehicle.
BlackJax offers immediate vehicle self-recovery. With the vehicle immobilized a short distance away, the owner can recover it. No special tracking units, monthly fees or per-use charges. Just follow the sound of the BlackJax siren, then enter the PIN code. That's it – it's sabotage-proof. The only way to turn off BlackJax is with a secret user-selectable PIN code. If the carjacker tries guessing codes at random, BlackJax actively ignores his code entries for the next few minutes. Even if he were to find and remove the BlackJax control unit, he would still be unable to restart the engine. That's Clifford technology you can count on.£225.00

if criminals suspect a car has a tracker they will normally leave it parked somewhere for a few days and see if its recovered, if its not they can be safe to take it away again

I'm confused by this, surely they drove it away, therefore ignition was turned on?
Or is the tracker not activated at all times, so they haven't driven it since it was activated?
