Lidl Car Park, Ferraguedo

[pato]

Part of the irony of all this is that I usually park away from other cars in carparks, so that the car doesn't get hit by supermarket trolleys, carelessly opened doors etc.....not that, in this case, it was very remote....guess I'll be safer with the herd in future!
Leaving the rear shelf open ( with nothing in boot) sounds a good idea. Don't like the idea of leaving the car unlocked though....think that would invalidate any insurance if car was stolen.

Just break a window when it's found.

Just to report the conclusion : the hire car company decided to charge an extra 130€ , making the total cost 280€ , as the lock was " more dificult to renew than originally thought". The GNR wrote , in Portuguese, to say they were closing their case file ( no surprise there). The good news is that "carhireexcess.com" came up trumps and refunded me the 280€ in full.....the best £39.99 ( for a year's cover) that I have spent for some time!
