The view from my bedroom window..

[john_p]

Can you spot what's missing from my neighbour's car?

Happened in the middle of the night. Didn't hear a thing, nor did my neighbour above.

Must have been a pro job, luckily for my neighbour there's no damage to the rest of the car and the bricks (obtained from the driveway!) are placed under suspension mountings. Hopefully it will be a simple recovery, although it must be really unstable so don't know how they'll jack the car up without it toppling

Yes, I know, iPhone crappy camera.

In a gated car park too? Is it locked? i.e. only residents can unlock it?

[john_p]

In theory, although I don't know how "forcable" the gates are. Or maybe someone knows the code..

[MonkeyBusiness]

That's really sad sight.
Hope your neighbour gets it sorted quickly.

Cant see the photo, wheels nicked I presume?

Can see the photo now, such a shame, did it not have locking wheel nuts? they can be a bh to remove without a key.

Standard, although I don't remember which style. Car's quite new, so doubt the tyres were that worn. Surprised the tilt alarm didn't go off - unless maybe they lifed the car from both ends at the same time?

How much more detail do you need than a gated residence, no one noticed a thing? No Alarm going off? Just upped and disappeared?

[john_p]

Locking nuts were undamaged (I picked them up as they were about to roll down a drain!). No visible damage to car either, unless they got underneath and snipped something.

So it had locking wheelnuts? Well, that's a waste of time, then!!

[john_p]

I think it's pretty well proven that the BMW standard ones are a total waste of time.

It's still got them by the sound of it...

[FourWheelDrift]

Are they not the new fashion, 8" alloys.

Beeeeeeeling!

[itr786]

lol, some of you idiots make it sound like it could only have been Tom Cruise out of mission impossible that could steal those wheels!.

lol - I could get over that gate no problem. The fence is probably easier still.

[john_p]

Not as easy as the 6' fence that runs around the sides you can't see
