I too had my car broken into at Trigg 3rds yesterday - must have come out of the water just after Glug had reported his break in / theft to the cops.
Got to my car after washing off and noticed that my glovebox and centre console was open - went around to the other side of the car the b@stards had jimmied my drivers side lock to get it. Rifled through the car and borrowed to never return my 1 week old iPhone5S... had another kite and surfboard in the car which they didn't appear to be interested in.
Nothing of value visible from the outside and also have (or now had!) a usual hiding spot for phone, wallet etc but the crackers must have had a similar idea.I don't usually take a wallet down for that reason, but that's not always practical. Unlucky but lucky this time. To me it's the frustration, inconvenience and time lost to sort out the new phone, cards, car repairs etc rather than the material loss itself, which of course also sucks big sweaty balls...
Was also parked at the front row, right next to the pedestrian / cycle path about 4 bays down from the shower. At that time on a summery Sunday, there's a fair amount of foot or bicycle traffic going past, so they must have been pretty efficient to hit a couple of cars without anyone noticing.
Thanks to the fellow kiter that lent me his phone to call the cops to report it. He was parked 3 cars down from me with some valuables in the car but was lucky they got cars either side!
Trigg sounds like it is getting worse. I have a friend that had his car stolen while going for a surf a few months ago.
