Waking up with empty car

More than a month ago I woke up and when opening my BMW I saw that somebody stole all electronics. I have them on camera and within 8 minutes they took everything (nav display, digital cockpit, m-sport wheel, etc etc). I hear it happens quite often in The Netherlands.

I recently bought a sensor which sounds an alarm as soon as somebody enters my car (movement and vibration sensor). Wondering if people have other solutions?

Oh yeah, total bill was € 12.000,-. Payed by the insurance, payed by (mostly, I guess) honest people.

Dang man, that hurts. Glad you have your car complete again, this happens in Germany also very often but a real anti theft protection is nearly impossible if you havent a single garage with good locks.

That's right, only the premium / professional is stolen
