BMW KEYS STOLEN - but did not take the car?!? (Help)

[R12HCO]

Good morning Gents

I woke up this morning to find the front door open and my belongings all over the street (Coats, bags etc).

The only things they have stolen is my Cigarettes and my car keys, to my knowledge.(my two most cherished items)!!!

The car is a very late e39 525ia sport.

Obviously i'm pissed off, but is there anything I can do in the mean time until locks or what ever are changed? I have thought about taking the battery out every night. Is there anything else in the mean time?

I'm concerned that my insurance will not pay out as the car hasn't been stolen, and I cant see anywhere on the policy that said it would pay out in this instance (admiral group).

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any idea of cost? I'm fairly savvy with mechanical aspects, but electrics and locks are not my thing.

Ps - Someone else down the road has been done by the same people, assuming after their 1 series coupes?

Many thanks

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have phone sytner who said they can disable said key for £65. They would still be able to get in the car but not start it.

I will go for that in the mean time!

It is £785 for new lock set.
