Literally, a microwave is the most complicated thing to turn on* in my house. It requires three distinct specific procedures! My washing machine only needs two!
*not counting people
Tbf you only need to press one button on mine and it turns on for 30s. If I accidentally knocked it whilst opening the fridge then I'd probably just let it run. I stand with ForeverAddickted.

I believe the microwave story. I keep my car keys in the washing machine. I turned it on by mistake the other day with my keys inside. It caused the car doors to open, start the engine and a thief took it for a spin. However, our bike only disappeared for a little while as it was on a short cycle.
I don't buy this at all. How can your car turn into a bike mid-thieving? Did the thief chop it in half down the middle?

It was a couple of crooks working in tandem.
You're getting mixed up with when Andre Bikeys car was nicked.

How can you accidentally bump the temperature setting, then cluelessly key in a time and then finally collide unawares with the start button? I'm buying this less and less, my good man
The key was hidden in a big pile of Chinese, left over form the night before, for maximum security

Surely a car being driven at night, particularly in the current lockdown, is going to be picked up on a speed camera somewhere so identifying the general direction it was driven to shouldn’t be that difficult. I talk to the breakdown guys that are based near my house and they are attending just one or two breakdowns a weekend atm with most of the company’s trucks off the road and the drivers furloughed. If the OB are going to have a great opportunity to break a criminal gang stealing high end cars then the lockdown must be it.

Most speed cameras only record if a vehicle trips it because it is speeding. It would have to be average speed cameras or ANPR jobbies. You could bet a pound to a penny that professional twokers know exactly where these cameras are and avoid them.
I'm surprised a Merc like that hasn't got a decent tracker. My car has something called automatic driver recognition. I get a phone call if my car is moving and I'm not in it. (For some bizarre reason I always get a call if I go to my local Screwfix branch. Must be a dead spot for their system or something.) If I confirm I'm not driving, as soon as it is stationery, the engine is disabled.

Seems that Jason has an App that allows him to track where his Merc is if ever it gets stolen
Unfortunately hasnt been working though as he mentioned it when someone made the suggestion on twitter

I've got a keyless microwave

I had a T Reg Peugeot 406 that, shall we say, looked like it had seen better days. 132k miles on the mileometer but it just never let me down.
Wife took it to work one day and when she came back it had gone and was never seen again.
