330d stolen overnight

Hi guys

Just a heads up. My car was stolen overnight from my driveway near Stamford in Lincs. Black 330d. Pride and joy and less than 2 years old. Must of got my keys through the letterbox.

Gutted.

Be careful people with your shiny BMs, hide your keys overnight or take them to bed.

Holy crap, not another one! Gutted for you mate.

Have you tried the tracking via the App yet? Have you invoked Operation Cundall with the police?

Stupid app says car is more than 1.5km away and cannot display anything due to data protection requirements?!?

Thieving scum bag wankers. hope you're insurance coughs up mate.

The only plus side is, its new car time!

I got mine back Op Cundall the Police will contact Munich and find out where it is - if you have a newer version post 2014 you can track it yourself via an app

So then you need to call the police back, ask them to pull the forms for Operation Cundall and get them completed this morning.

Ready the thread linked below; in case you are not aware with the right authority BMW will trace the car and provide location details to the police. But you need to act fast before it goes underground or gets on a boat!

Fake GPS will spoof where your phone is so all you need to do is get your fake GPS location to within 1 mile of the car. This is how I found mine

As above though, get the cops to invoke op cundall

Sorry just read you have tried the app and you are limited to 1.5km tell the coppers about Op Cundell ASAP they will bring round some paperwork which they fax off to Munich and BMW will locate your car for you.

That's what I got, though I spoke with the traffic cops and they were aware of it. In the mean time get fake GPS on the go. I guarantee your car won't be far from you, it's standard practice for car thief's to park them up within a couple of miles to see if they have a tracker fitted.

Op Cundell is an official form - I wish I had taken a picture of it when I signed it but it does exist and it will help you out.

Going back to the original theft, are you sure they didn't gain entry to your property? Things like lock bumping could mean they get in with no visible signs of a break in.
