Stolen 1M CCTV footage

[stolen 1m]

Here's a video of my 1M being stolen a few months ago at 3am. They smashed a small area of glass (No alarm went off), used a device to reprogram a key fob trough the OBD port, then unlocked the car, pushed it off the drive and gone. In 3 minutes.

BMW can't recognise a problem with their cars. I can't understand why the alarm didn't go off, and why it only took 3 minutes to steal a £43,000 car. In the west midlands alone, 300 cars were stolen like this in March 2012 alone!

Can someone answer this please? I'm confused...

There is a 'void' in the alarm. Almost like an area that isn't covered by it. This runs along the door from top to bottom and front to back and extends into the car by 4 inches (just enough to get your hand in and down to the OBD port) BMW won't admit it.

And if you haven't seen how easy it is to reprogram a key.Here's a nice foreign chap teaching us all how to do it. The device costs a few thousand Euros, and is available on the internet. Not a bad investment for a £43k car.
