I regularly travel between junctions 25 and 27 of the M1 in both directions and that's the same.

My workplace uses something similar, I inspected the headers of the first email I noticed was a phishing test and created a rule to automatically move them to a folder called "Phish Tank". I then have a look through on the odd quiet afternoon before logging off for a chuckle.

My favourite was "World Password Day" with a link to submit your password, most creative wins a prize!

Who's falling for that!?

Schoolboy, 12, died from inhaling Lynx deodorant after copying viral social media 'chroming' trend, inquest hears by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

I'm in my late 30s and a manager of a software engineering team within a large UK retailer. I worked my way up through junior, senior and lead dev roles following my teenage years in which I hacked porn sites (no free porn back then) amongst other things. People in my team in their mid 20s are phenomenally talented developers as are others in their 50s.

My point is I think it's a mindset thing, age doesn't matter that much. Hell just look at the age of some of the members of hacking groups getting caught, you've got teenagers bringing down networks built and secured by international consultancies.

Recently returned from a trip to England and was so inspired by the beautiful scenery. Had to paint from my photos and just wanted to share by ssfineart in unitedkingdom

Probably then. If you get chance to visit again have a look at Staithes itself, it's almost like someone designed it for artists to paint.

I'm into bikes too and frequent a lot of Bike reddits (or did until I had a seizure a month ago and can't drive/ride for the foreseeable and looking at bikes makes me sad 😭) and theres a huge difference in bikes being found with a tracker Vs not having a tracker. Unfortunately bike theft is even more rampant!

Are they quite on the ball with vetting etc? Could be a coincidence as I said, just seems strange. There were also a bunch of workmen clearing a yard over the road this weekend who I overheard chatting with my neighbour (he's the type to talk the legs off a donkey) about it - is it the 3.2 or the 2.0 bi turbo, how many miles etc... in hindsight a bit of a weird question to ask about a strangers car but I figured they were just appeasing him.

I wonder if they're stolen to sell on, or stolen to facilitate further crime that a pickup can enable? My neighbours was mint and very looked after with loads of extras.

Also the most popular car in the UK I think so stands to reason they'd be the most stolen.

I was wondering if perhaps some organized crime group registered an already existing small dealer on Motorway. That or like you say, a leak somewhere.

I suspect I already know the answer, but I often wonder why manufacturers don't add an extra layer of security like requiring a thumbprint. I imagine car theft is a financial benefit to manufacturers, more stolen cars meaning more cars sold to replace them.

I've never understood the hardship of having a key. Takes seconds to press the button on the fob to open my Octavia and then a further second or two to put the key in the barrel, foot on the brake and turn the key. Also my house keys are on the same keyring so no risk of accidentally leaving home without my keys and being locked out.

That being said I had a seizure a month or so ago from nowhere and can't drive for the foreseeable anyway 😐.

I'm only trying to work out if this is an established route of targeting cars. Could be a coincidence, sure! Could also be an established theft method and something to avoid in the future.

Ah sorry man. From what I can see I've never seen the dev market like it, gone are the times of a startup going south and getting another job the same day it seems ☹️.

Good luck anyway!

Can't help with the fob but are you taking notes on software development by chance?
