New BMWs at risk of theft - Latest car stories - MSN Cars UK
Steve Wood loved his pride and joy, a brand new BMW 1M worth ?43,000. In fact, he kept the key in his bedroom every night and hid the spare.
But that didn't stop four brazen thieves stealing his car from his driveway in only three minutes.
Steve had CCTV cameras pointed on his BMW and they recorded the thieves smashing the BMW's window and accessing the car's 'OBD port' in the footwell to reprogramme a spare key.
A void on the alarm meant the thieves could smash the glass and put their arm into the car without it going off.
It was then simply a case of pushing the car silently out of the driveway and making off in it, never to be seen again.
Lo ?43,000 BMW and no movement sensor fitted, pathetic if you ask me?.
