She's been violated!

She was broken into and violated...and it happened right under my nose, worst part about it. I'm not posting this to vent (although it helps), did enough of that yesterday but to give some of you a heads up...hopefully I'll also gain more insight on getting her back in shape and spot on!

I parked right in front of my building early-morning saturday...came out early afternoon sunday to take the ceo for brunch and discovered all windows including the sunroof fully open. Scumbags made away with some personal items including tv monitors/headrests and wireless headphones. Guess how they entered, deactivated the alarm and had their way with her?

Question(s):

-If I have the alarm reprogrammed to only activate by key and key/battery dies or say I install the key-hole cover...and there's some type of radio intereference and I can't unlock the doors...what are my options? (feel free to pm)

Guess I'm gonna have to put her back in the garage @ 400 benjamins a month (dammit!!!)

I'd hate for some thieving lurkin' troll to gain ideas on how to enter our X's. If you can't put it together from the pic then pm me. I believe this has happened to others. On top of it all, part of my next mod's were supposed to be a keyhole cover and headrest covers...(and a baseball bat next to the bed!)

psss.....punched a keyhole. Not a uncommon thing to do to BMWs and it has been posted on the board prior to this. The response is to get the replacement cover that removes access to it.

That really sucks, time to lock and load

WOW this is just SAD. I feel your pain. Been there. I guess this leads to the next question. Where is the best place to find the painted fix?

Check out FULANITO's thread here: http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...o-keyhole.html

He did the same thing and has been locked out a few times because the battery was drained. The last time he was locked out, the spare key had enough juice to unlock the doors.

Very sorry to hear. I get nervous every time I park and I park in a lot but there's no fence enclosing the lot... yet.

I see the NYPD boys in blue in the background. Where in NYC did it happen?

I ask because you can surely catch a deal for $5 around my way. I've had 2 tv's, a bike, a baby stroller, 2 car stereos, and a DeWalt drill all offered for sale to me all for $5. If I see your stuff on the block I promise to play Robin Hood (literally) and RE-steal your stuff and give it back 2u.
