Yep... no one has security bit drivers, i mean it's not like Screwfix, ToolStation, BnQ, Wickes, eBay, Amazon, etc. all sell the bits... Infact, most screw driver bits come with them as standard

coupled to even a small battery impact driver not going to try hard are they

After reading this thread I haven't come up with a fix for the doors but I've bolted a steel plate under the slam plate for the bonnet so the scrotes can't pull the cable release for the bonnet.
No pics as it's a secret.
I'm just trying to slow them down.

You can just fill the head in with silicone. Believe it or not its a real pain to get out, takes a fair while and looks quite neat. You have to scrape almost all of it out to get a good fit with the screw driver head
