Mazda Stalker

[T42]

We keep seeing a 93 Mazda black RX7 cruising up to where our MX5 is parked. Every few weeks since May this is going on. This week they drove by photographing our house and car! We have no idea what they are up to. No notes left no contact- just very suspicious. We live in a cul de sac so they are intentionally driving in. Anyone any ideas or advise or had the same experience?

Something odd going on there for sure, I would approach them and ask what they are doing, if they are friendly and interested in the car for some reason then they won't have a problem with you asking and will be happy to talk to ya.
If they are not and speed off then i would try to get the cars details and report it to the guards.
Maybe bring a big dog with you when you go out to talk to them!!!!

Get the details regardless, sounds like someone casing your place. Turn the tables and take their picture..if they're genuine then they should have no problem with understanding your concerns.

"A heroin addict who was paid by criminals to steal cars for use by them later in serious offences has been given a four years sentence by Judge Patrick McCartan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Trevor Purdy (aged 34) of Newbrook Avenue, Donaghmeade left his mobile phone in the vehicle when he escaped from the car he stole after it skidded into a ditch following a high-speed garda chase."

"Operation ‘Swallow’ is now in its 8th week and the latest intelligence reports that 10 stolen vehicles have been recovered.

A joint operation between the Garda stolen vehicle unit and the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), efforts are ongoing to uncover stolen vehicles which have been originally stolen in Ireland, had UK identities put on them and are then resold to Irish customers as UK imports.

It’s a relatively simple but effective scam that has cost unsuspecting Irish buyers thousands."
