That agency would have jammed communications in the area so no alarm would have been raised, unless raising an alarm was their actual purpose.
Also, if the alarm is connected to a security provider, a disruption in communication with the car will also cause them to follow up on it.

Signal jamming will trigger high-end car alarms as well. Also, if the alarm is connected to a security provider, a disruption in communication with the car will also cause them to follow up on it.

Hardly, this was a very unsophisticated attack, they cut through the entire loom as opposed to through individual wires so it was quickly noticeable what had occurred.
What’s unsophisticated is stealing a radio or nav by slashing the back of the wiring loom, and then the owner having to replace the entire loom at the cost of many thousands of dollars. It sucks but that’s life. Car thieves aren’t your friends, DGAF about damage, and those that don’t operate on a “speed is life” principle get caught. Maybe you should show a little respect to the knowledge and tactics demonstrated?
