Did Someone Try to Nick My Car Last Night?

Went out to the car this morning and saw this...

Was before 7, only the milkman had been, but it looks like a definite 'something' has been put up against the window since the overnight dew/condensation had built up.

Is this an attempt at a theft by remote key system?

Might be the sticker from the windscreen when they made the wind screen? Has this rectangle been on the car previously when it's frosted up?

Could be - only picked up at beginning of August and not really had any major condensation since then, but can't say I noticed it on lighter condensation days, which I'm sure I would have done.

Brain catching up with me as I type - though picked up in August, it's an April '19 original manufacture. So assume any such effects would be long gone? Unless a replacement window?

Make an internal marker with painters tape around the edges of that rectangle. See what happens. I think the sticker theory is plausible. Mine does that with heat from the dash cam in parking mode.

Good shout, might lay a marker of some sort.

The more I look though, the more I think it's not a residual sticker mark: it's not just condensation, it looks as if someone has physically cleared the dew.
