My car got stolen at 4 am this morning.
It's a Silver 1999 E39 M5, registration number V352ROC, 103000 miles on clock.
The thief broke into the house, took car keys and drove the car away.
If you happen to see it anywhere, please let Police or me know.
Thanks,
Vano

Hope it's found if the OP wants it back.

A Stolen/Recovered marker on the car will reduce its value. Sometimes a good insurance payout is a better result if there are no emotional ties to the car.

Was it a house robbery too as in they used the car to take your stuff away or simply the car?

Happened to me but they used the car as a get away to carry all the kit, car was found 1/2 mile away with an additional 22 miles on the clock - locat gypsey site 11 miles away oddly enough... but the car had no damage apart from a few scuffs on the alloys.

Police did say when they use the car to carry kit away they are usually exceptionally good drivers speed limits basically to get zero attention - but if they do then they blast away to try to lose the police but its super rare.

Sadly if they simply took the car and such a great super car as the M5/or any sports version your sadly going to have to assume its been driven extremely hard.

Might be better not to have it back.

Feel for you - its so gutting when it happens I had huge rage at first combined with sadness. Didnt know what to do - police were excellent. I remember they asked me how we were feeling to which I replied pretty fecking angry - he responded I wouldnt blame you one bit if you caught him and gave him a good kicking. He did point out that it wasnt a targeted robbery though instead just chancers which as sad as it sounds did make us feel somewhat better.

Keep your chin up

Sorry to hear this and I hope that the car if found undamaged. Just returned from the USA where they put the reg numbers and make of stolen cars up on the matrix signs to remind motorists to keep a beady eye out for the vehicles. A great idea.

No finger prints.

Infact the police & SOCO stated that robbers used to use latex gloves but have since found out their sweat can seep through to leave a trace of a print, however what they now use are gloves mainly woolen as that leaves no trace at all.

It's one of the reasons my dad always has a normal car - it's just not worth the hassle.
But it's only like £10k's worth of car? Nice car, but there are more valuable and easier cars to shift.
