And said scrote, seeing the suction cup (or even if you did remove it,
the marks left by it, unless you cleaned the screen every time) would
break in looking to see if you'd hidden the camera somewhere.


I don't think I've ever seen a car that appeared to have been broken
into like that. And for £39 of dashcam, would they bother?

Because they're scrotes, it's what they do. They can sell it for a
tenner, enough for their next fix.

My car got broken into once because (I assume) they thought the glass
mounted aerial on the back window was connected to a (then common) fixed
car phone. It wasn't, it was for my 70cm amateur band radio, which I'd
taken with me.

It was a common thing when satnavs first came in and were expensive,
now almost every vehicle has one or the driver uses a mobile phone there is
no market , so it is rare.
You would have to leave it in a real dodgy area for them to bother now, not
impossible but unlikely.
