I came back from the holidays to discover that my poor convertible had been sliced open right under the back window by someone. Unfortunately, the car has been parked for 2 weeks since the last time I can definitively say it had *not* been broken into.

I know it's not guaranteed that the alarm would go off if they sliced thru the soft top, but I think it would definitely go off if they started touching things inside.

When I file a police report, I'd like to include some information more specific than "in the last two weeks" about when it happened. I know the car computer keeps meticulous logs about engine events, so I'm hoping there are also logs about the alarm going off, and maybe even which sensors triggered it.

Any ideas if these exist and how to access them?

The car is a 2009 Cooper Convertible.

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

I do not believe something like this exists, but you can call a dealer and ask if there is a way they can plug into the DME and see if the alarm went off.
