Bad news. Sad day, broken into

DanielBimmer · 01-10-2014, 10:08 PM

never shared this but it happened a couple months ago. woke up to see my dads e90.... This sucks pics say it all

dkexige · 01-10-2014, 10:27 PM

They took some pretty specific things :/ Left a lot of easy stuff worth money.

ny325 · 01-10-2014, 10:34 PM

Scumbags. Catch them, flog them, bury them!

Zazhar101 · 01-10-2014, 10:41 PM

damn I feel for you... someone stole my fogs from my lancer back in 09 but the A hole was nice enough to put his grills on mine... mad as hell but whatever

Mardio · 01-10-2014, 11:29 PM

Sorry man sucks, no alarm?

ezmaass · 01-10-2014, 11:36 PM

Wow, that's terrible.

I'm guessing two things here:

1. No alarm?

2. Parked in a pretty vulnerable area, as this looks like it took some time and would have made some noise?

The xenons are very expensive and a popular target unfortunately. I know back in the day Maximas were exceptionally vulnerable to xenon theft since the lights would literally pop right out in 20 seconds with a screwdriver.

Regardless, sorry for your loss here, and hopefully insurance made everything right for you. Chances are they'll never catch the guys who did this, and it's a good possibility that they're pros as they were clearly after specific items for resale IMHO.

LMAO its almost identical! I remember seeing that a few months ago. WTF do they want the airbag for?!?!?

PichaDis11 · 01-11-2014, 09:52 AM

How come the air bag never deploys on these thieves whenever they go to steal them?? Damn!

DC_Oldboy · 01-11-2014, 12:47 PM

Wow wtf? Those scums!

Taran.J · 01-11-2014, 12:51 PM

Damn, doesn't the parts on our cars come with specific numbers to identify if it was originally installed on a certain vehicle? Or are 3 series' so mass produced it's all just going down the line

I have no clue, I'll ask my dad he's had a body shop for 28 years

DML · 01-11-2014, 03:53 PM

Sad story indeed I would have lost it...2nd time this has been asked, No alarm?? That's why if you care about you're car you gotta garage it or else subject yourself to this nonsense.

Danman5666 · 01-11-2014, 04:32 PM

Crazy. Airbags must be expensive.
