A suspected crook allegedly tried to steal a £130,000 Aston Martin from a driveway by cloning the key.
The chilling moment was captured on the owner’s Ring security camera.
The man – clad in black and wearing a balaclava – was seen holding a cable up above his head near the house.

The silver 202mph Aston Martin Vantage – which can do 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds – is seen parked up.
He moved around the driveway.
But he leaves empty handed as the one minute and 32 second CCTV footage comes to an end.
It happened at 5:05am on 10 September in Fox Lane, Southgate, north London.
The man was allegedly trying to attempt a keyless theft of the vehicle by picking up a signal from the key in the house.
One local said: “What’s he doing with his hands up in the air?
“Surrendering before the police turn up?”
Another joked: “First Southgate loses his job, now someone wants to nick his motor.”
A third questioned: “What is he even doing?”
One quipped: “I thought he was performing a street dance with a coat hanger.”
A fifth added: “Legend has it he is still standing there and walking around.”
A cop source said: “The car was not stolen and relates to fraud incident.”
The Met Police declined to comment.
