Our BMW was broken into last night, no idea how?

Wasn't quite sure where to post this.
Our BMW was broken into last night and a few contents stolen. It is a 2006 model 535D
What is really strange is it appears to have been opened remotely or through some other way of unlocking, there is nothing broken and the car was locked up afterwards!
The ONLY thing that is damaged is that the tow hook cover on the bumper has been removed, and a bit of paint scratched in the process, why would they remove this unless they planned on towing away?
We had the police forensics around tonight and they say this is becoming more common, I also called a local BMW main dealer who said there are no security issues and this is not possible, well someone is telling porkies!
What we are now concerned about is someone coming back and getting in again!
By the way the only remote's were locked away and have not been touched.

Do these cars unlock in the event of an impact? Maybe the tow hook was removed to facilitate the administering of a short, sharp shock via a part of the structure that would be solid enough to cause the whole vehicle to 'shudder', thus triggering the unlocking. Wouldn't explain how it came to be locked again though!
This sounds logical, someone did also mention the air-bag sensors, on an impact supposedly all locks open?Agreed about the locking part though, its baffling!
