Thieving scum

[firebobby]

CCTV is OK, but most of these scummy barstewards don't give a fly F about it as they wear hoodies and face coverings. If they were to get caught, they would have a slap on the wrist and given 100 hrs community service, which they wouldn't do because it's their human right, not to have to drag their sorry asses out of bed.
Your better off ripping the fancy gear out of your car now, before weasel and his mates turn up

Was full pro nav, current estimate is just over 10k but BMW need more time as there is so much damage to the wiring looms. Trying to get BMW to admit there is a security issue but thats not going to happen.

I should be pleased I only had some solar lights nicked but then theft is theft whatever it is.

Contemplating getting another Ring cam and hiding it on the front garden, current one only covers from the garage door to house door.

Drunks on the way home from the pub maybe, or your neighbor may be jealous of such 'high end' garden accessories and he's nabbed 'em ,ground them into tiny pieces and put them down the drain.
I remember many moons ago, I was a young punk on the way home with my pals from a night out. I was as pissed as a fart. I saw this plastic garden gnome about two gardens down. I set my sights on it. I sprinted flat out across the two gardens and gave the gnome my best toe punt to launch it into next week...It was concrete...Broke all my toes

 

[DMC63]

Don't worry about your lights Tim, my cars currently at the dealer getting accessed for this.

Two Oners got done within 100 meters of each other Monday night

Both locked and mine doesn't have confort access so little mithed on how they got in.

s**t! Sorry to see what's happened to you car. I hope it's all back together asap. I get a sinking feeling in my gut when I read posts like this.

Ouch...hope you manage to get this sorted. I really hope the person who did this to your car gets caught....also wishing the airbag went off in their face as they dismantled the steering wheel.... :angry:

Probably not cloned but done with a simple key jammer, scum bag sat near by with a £30 device that blocks your key fob signal, you think you have locked it but it's not. Far too simple and a really common scam at the moment, it's really is worth checking doors manually. Hope things get fixed OK :|

 

[TitanTim]

I can't check mine manually as have comfort access so always make sure the alarm light is blinking :|

£10k for a bit of media equipment and the steering wheel, that's frightening! How much is BMW's ridiculous labour charges? Not that the their parts are cheap either!

More than likely someone who's drunk and decided to take his anger out on your solar lights.

I once went to work on a Friday night shift with hanging baskets in full Bloom out the front. Came back in the morning and they were gone

I was so annoyed I ended up removing everything from my front garden, just so no other scum could steal anything.

Found the baskets a couple of weeks later in a bush down the road. I'm in a cul-de-sac also so must have been some jealous idiot who lives near me.

I'm actually really very angry to be honest, I know its not the same as having the house burgled although I do have an alarm and recently set up some Hive motion sensors so I can receive mobile notifications but its just the sheer pettiness nicking something thats quite worthless and spoiling it for someone who is just trying to make their garden nice. I'm contemplating getting another Ring cam although they're 160 quid and hiding it on the front garden and getting some replacement lights. If I caught who did it then.......

Comfort access, in which case you are at additional risk of signal relaying from your key-fob. Scumbag gets up close to your house, door, window with a cheap radio signal relay and bounces your fob signal to a mate with similar next to your car, bingo and they are in! Very prevalent at the moment and completely mystifies everybody, including the disbelieving insurance co.

The only protection is to invest a few quid in a simple Faraday shield, which crudely speaking stops radio waves. People are flogging all kinds of overpriced Faraday Shields but it's just a conductive mesh woven in to the fabric. I would have thought something like this would be fine (but test it by your car to check :wink: ).

I was worried about our 140i getting nicked, not somebody robbing the interior
Hope you get that sorted without too much financial pain.

The looms have been cut, so replacing those and the labour involved soon adds up.
