thanks lads, lights my best option. in all fairness if a catch them on cctv the cops still don't do anything. the c**ts get let back out. i seen local cctv recently on facebook of a guy doing the same. the b*****d was dressed like a ninja. so it really wont do any good. i think a good light will make most of them scarper. thanks for the input lads. oh and fixing the locks in the car
