Somebody tried breaking in..

BMW Fanatic · 04-21-2011, 02:00 PM

So I go to my car this morning which was parked outside my girlfriends place, start her up and go home. Once I get there I try to lock the doors with the key (actuator is blown in the driver side door so central locking doesn't work for that particular door), I notice the key doesn't fit and upon looking closely I see the inside of the lock is completely busted and twisted around. Nothing was taken and the door wasn't even open, just the busted lock.

I'm seriously F#&%$#@ pissed right now, but I guess the good bit is that the BMW held up against a break-in and it's not just a simple insert screwdriver and twist job.

Hey Ant · 04-21-2011, 04:05 PM

do a key hole delete when you fix the actuator.

I'd hope it wasn't a simple insert and twist.. sht

Hide your kids, hide your wife, cause they breakin into everyone's car these days.

OP - That sucks; do you have the factory alarm?

Time to ask your gf to move to another part of the town....

Same thing happened to me-a HS parking lot. Never took the BMW there again.

I once broke up with a girl because of only on street parking in a decent neighborhood but that is where things happen.....No driveway/Garage=No girlfriend.

Hopefully your insurance will pay for it all.

Many years ago I met a girl at a club and ended up going back to her apartment. The next morning I awoke to the sound of small children (whom I knew nothing of the night before) I quickly exited and hopped in my truck and headed home for a quick shower. I noticed my truck was all over the road so I stopped at work which was halfway from home and noticed I had 8 lugnuts holding 4 wheels in place.

It was clear that someone was trying to steal my wheels, my coworker started laughing his ass off and informed me that the apartment complex I spent the night at was government subsidized section 8.
Here's hoping you have higher standards than I did
