HELP! my BMW E39 M5 stolen this morning
Discussion
My M5 has been found!!!
Police called yesterday to say that they have located the car.
Apparently it is on different number plates and has been used in another robbery.
Front bumper is missing and there are dents and scratches all over...
Insurance company is assessing the damage to decide if it can be repaired or not.
Will keep you posted.

Have you seen the video of someone's 997 S and C220 CDI Sport been stolen from Ilford, which isn't far form you, other night? The scum arrived in a silver M5 sans front bumper: http://www.bmwowner.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&am...

The two best solutions are a decent Tracking device for your cars and a good alarm system in your home which you set at night for downstairs. My personal favourite is this....which would neither upset the children or neighbours.
Any news from the police as to where the car may go, ie for parts or export?
We can set the downstairs alarm at night but I think I would st my pants if it went off. I would rather they break in, get what they want and then go without coming up stairs. Its a tough call. Any news from the police as to where the car may go, ie for parts or export?
If you buy a cheap phone and car charger it only takes ten minutes to wire it to the permenant live and conceal it behind the stereo.
Register the phone with
www.traceamobile.com
(do this before concealing it as you will have to respond to a text confirming it is your phone)
If the car is taken you can track it easily or let the BiB know.
Make sure you leave the thing on silent.

Anticlimax - video removed by user. By all accounts it was a CCTV video of the cars being stolen showing the M5 turn up without bumper.
Boo! When did it happen?TheEnd said:

jakwyn, sorry to hear about your loss.
In my case, insurance company declared the car financial write-off due to the damage.
The car was invovled in frontal impact and probably off-roaded as well.
I would not have wanted to get that car back after what happenned so writing off was the best outcome.
