Our 3yr old X5 was stolen from outside our home recently without the keys. Despite it being alarmed ect, 'they' had smashed the drivers side window & taken it!
We just have no idea as to how they could have done that without having the keys....
We also found out that our neighbour had his BMW 5 taken a few days earlier - same MO.
We both are trying to find out just how many other BMW's have been taken in the MO around the Solihull area of the West Midlands. It appears 2 other BM's were taken afew days after ours in a neighbouring suburb.
We would appreciate contact from anyone who has had the same done to them and also from recent victims in the Solihull/Warwick areas. Any ideas has to how they can:
a) break into a BMW without setting off the alarm
b) over-ride the immobiliser.
b) take a car without keys.
d) re-start the stolen car when stopped.
Never having been victims of a stolen vehicle I can appreciate what others have gone through. The stress, inconvenience, the not knowing how, or why 'your' car - (there are other very nice looking BMW's parked up in the vacinity) and now the whole new experience of going through the insurance process!
