Them and that’s if they know about ghost.They May give up or think it’s broke
Fitting Ghost does give piece of mind and to all intents and purposes is a great deterrent, and would prevent the vast majority of would be perpetrators - professional thieves or joyriders, but..................no security device will make a car 100% theft proof.
Not a car with Ghost fitted, but there was an instance over on the Fiesta ST forum in the last year where a forum member had their car stolen - quite common with the previous generation Fiesta ST as the standard security isn’t great. The owner had taken pretty good additional precautions to prevent their car being driven off - Disklok fitted, dummy OBD port fitted and real OBD port moved and hidden to prevent key cloning - key cloning is the usual way of stealing these cars. Car was parked just outside the owners home by the window, so a good chance of the owner hearing any attempted theft.
Owner went to the car the next morning and it had gone. Police said that it was highly likely the car was jacked up and some form of wheeled trollies slid under the wheels, the car towed away and when a safe distance from the owner’s home, loaded onto a flatbed lorry.
A bit of an extreme case? Possibly. Would Autowatch Ghost have stopped the car being stolen? Maybe, but probably not with the method used by the perpetrators. It goes to show the lengths that some lowlife’s will go to if they’re determined enough though.
