During that night, my girlfriend and I were fast asleep, when at 03:45 the doorbell rang. We looked at each other dazed. I got out of bed and attempted to journey downstairs in my boxers when the doorbell rang again. Before opening the door I went into the living room to gaze out of the window. A police car with 2 policemen was standing in front of our house. I opened the door and was welcomed with the question whether I owned a BMW with a specific license plate. They said that a car burglary had taken place.
Read the story. Short version, the thieves tried a new approach that might signal a new wave of auto theft techniques. If nothing else, this will give you something to be aware of, if your car is ever broken into, but nothing appears to be taken.
I guess the real WTF is going to that much effort to steal a 320i.
Given the damage caused, I would have preferred they just steal it straight up. Less hassle.
Lol at that, In South Africa they just shoot you and take it with the keys still in the ignition.
Sounds silly but appreciate that they steal without killing.
It would have been smarter to have actually stolen something, to make it look like it was finished.
You’d rather pay for a new a car than repair one?
I’d prefer to let my insurance company buy me a new car than deal with repairing one. And the deductible is the same.
