STOLEN - New 118d Sport (Grey)
Hello,
New to this site but am using all means possible to communicate the theft of my car. I am amazed to say but after just 2.5 weeks and 1,500 miles some scum bag broke in to my home and stolen my new F20 1 series. I live in the Handforth (Cheshire / Manchester) area and it was stolen in the early hours of Sunday morning 4th December. The car is metallic grey, Sport with black / red cloth trim. Obviously not many on the road at the moment so probably stands out like a sore thumb. If anyone notices one driving around the Manchester area please drop me a note or email me direct at - graemeyardley@hotmail.com Awesome car by the way...hence why am even more determined not to let these scum get away with it. Thanks for reading, G |

Gutted for you mate, i remember when i had my house broken into it was awful. They didnt get my car as i was in and i chased them off like a raving loon! I think the sight of me legging it down the stairs in my boxer shorts scared them off!
Really shook me up though, i couldnt sleep for weeks. I hope you get your car back. I've got an F20 on order, may find somewhere upstaris to lock my keys at night. Good Luck!

I'm in the Lancashire area 15-20mls north of Manchester. Don't know if you have heard of Haslingden. I am EXTREMELY observant so I will keep a look out. Do you have any pictures of it you can send me? Sorry to hear about that - awful people! There is a red 118i (or d I forget) Sport Line knocking around this area and you're right, it stands out from the crowd!
Hope you find it and I will do everything in my power to help! I may be going into Manchester this Saturday too...

Theft Protection?
I am really disappointed it seemed so easy to steal - as in theft prevention technology in the car itself. It might just be a 1 but??? Will the thief not need to get a new FOB from BMW and at that point ownership needs to be proven? I am always thinking how pissed insurance companies must feel towards car manufacturers. Do you think it was towed?
