Will dh's £90K car make us a target for crime?

[idratherbeincognito]

Have changed my name for this to avoid accusations of being ostentatious.

Dh has a £90K sports care. There is a waiting list of 12-18 months....

I hadn't considered this before but a friend has suggested that we step up our security at our house (we are semi rural - not many neighbours) eg CCTV, and our alarm should be linked to a rapid response security firm rather than a just a simple auditory alarm (as per now). He suggested that dh might be followed in his car and our house targetted (with car theft in mind). The miscreants then might, seeing that our house looks 'promising', be tempted to break in rather than just filch the vehicle.

Has he watched to many police dramas or does he have a point?

(Feeling all sort of nervous and vulnerable atm, not helped by a murder in the village yesterday - aggravated burglary)

Our next door but one neighbour had their 50k Merc stolen from the driveway last week.They used a crow bar on the front door and weren't interested in anything in the house.They'd purely broken in to find the car keys and take the car.It happened around lunchtime and no one saw a thing.

I was in the car pack of my gym and an R8 drove past. The bloke driving it was the sales manager from the local Audi garage (lucky sod)

car park not car pack

We got a copy of a local free glossy mag today; they did a "gone in 60 seconds" fashion feature & guess what the car was...
