Bimmerfest 2007: Stolen DSLR Canon Rebel from Jet Black iForged Car

SES_D · 05-06-2007, 08:00 PM

Dang, that sucks man.

Hope you find it soon! That camera was the one who took all those awesome pics. How was Bimmerfest? Fun? See any cops on 101? haha.

iKON · 05-06-2007, 08:03 PM

Thats ridiculous. I hope all works out for the best for ya... and by the way... someone stole my girlfriends camera at the carwash today... we are still trying to solve that one... even tho it was only an Canon SD450, no where as nice as the Rebel, im still pissed! Why would someone do that? I have lost hope in the goodness of people...

Alex...sorry to hear about that. Met you at the booth and you were an extremely nice guy. You probably don't remember me because there were tons of people there.

Can't believe that someone would steal your camera let along check to see if your door was open. Some people are plain rude & disrespectful

Some people have absolutely no sense that most of the cars at bimmerfest belong to people and not BMW. The cars are not there for a test drive or for people to see how that car 'feels' to sit inside.

Overheard 2 people talking (owner + vendor) at a booth where they were telling the owner, some stupid stubborn guy that would not get out of the car. The guy felt he had the right to sit inside the car because it was unlocked & simply wanted to. So if someone leaves a car unlocked, that gives people the right to sit inside?? WTF

Really hope that whoever took the camera or even a friend of whoever took the camera has the decency to return the camera.

sorry to hear bout that alex, i hope u get it back... that camera has taken some nice pictures. good luck man...

BavarianMW · 05-06-2007, 08:52 PM

Damn alex still no luck? I looked everywhere i could around our section.... even under vince's M3 hah. Start a donation thread ha..jk. Well dude i hope everything works out. By the way how long did it take for you guys to pack up, sorry i couldnt stay and help you guys out. But the San Diego show is going to be great too and hopefully your camera situation is worked out.

Were you the one who asked about the tint? Sorry, my memory really is horrible. The lack of sleep didn't help either.

That stuff about people getting into cars is lame too. I have clearbra on my car and I saw people picking at it. I just tried not to look.

Hey man. It's cool, when i noticed it gone i knew i wouldn't find it again. It only took us a couple of mins to pack up no biggie. Hopefully, if I can sell my rims, I'll be out there with you guys in San Diego w/ some new shoes

Bimmerfest was awesome man. You should make it out next time. The drive really wasn't too bad. I saw a few cops, but I didn't have any run ins. I just slowed down around bends and under overpasses.

thanks man, hopefully i can get insurance money, iono if it'll affect the premiums yet though.

Ray · 05-06-2007, 10:23 PM

Damn, Alex, this is not good.

I always hate when bad things happen to good people.

SoCal335i · 05-06-2007, 10:29 PM

Im sure there were more things that were stolen. Always lock your car and remember there are some fucked up people in this world that dont care about anything but themselves and would take anything from anyone and not care how it affects people. Thats just life though.

Fraggy · 05-06-2007, 10:34 PM

Thats pretty fucked up, especially the a BMW show.

Whats ths San Diego show that got mentioned?

+1. That's just a crappy thing to do in general but especially at a setting like that.

NaViT · 05-06-2007, 10:51 PM

ah man Alex, i loved the pics u took with that camera.... but Karmas a bitch theyll get theirs for that, but until then good luck u never know what could happen... one things for sure, ur gunna have an even better camera when u get one

Johnny Lin · 05-06-2007, 11:08 PM

Sorry to hear that. Hope you will find it back!

SpecC · 05-06-2007, 11:23 PM

good luck alex. hope you find that camera

ksfrogman · 05-06-2007, 11:37 PM

Sorry about your misfortune, but you may have a higher rate of return if you post a mesage on Bimmerfest.com and e46fanatics.com.

cHaNkSta · 05-07-2007, 02:26 AM

fuckin sucks alex!! i hope you find it man

OC Guy · 05-07-2007, 03:39 AM

That sucks man. Did you pay for it with a VISA? Perhaps you can get your money back.

ironic · 05-07-2007, 09:55 AM

^ unfortunately no, but the camera was a couple of years old so i don't know if the cc companies would be that generous anyways.

thanks for the support guys, but i guess i'm not too upset. getting a chance to go to bimmerfest in exchange for my dslr was worth it!

FotiosF90M5 · 05-07-2007, 10:06 AM

scumbags preying in on unsuspecting good people. I hate scumbags. he should be stoned to near death.Thats as bad as keying a bimmer.

shragon · 05-07-2007, 11:19 AM

i heard about this on another thread, but had no idea it was you.

really sorry about this!

stolen items and the fight are just ghetto.

also heard somebody tried to steal a fog light off another car. the guy that saw called out the thief since he knew he was not the owner. the thief said his friend had his key, and he would go get it, but of course he never came back.

also heard about shit getting stolen at last year's bimmerfest.

good luck man!

btw... i would post this also at bimmerforums.com if you haven't already done so.

longtran · 05-07-2007, 11:20 AM

wow this sucks. i left my car at evosport's booth and they didnt eve remove the keys out of ignition after they moved my ccar to teh spot they like. i came back and grabbed my keys out and locked the door. they even left my e92 unlock too...

i doubt anyone would return it, but good luck to you.

dejav0o · 05-07-2007, 11:36 AM

Ahhh that sucks Alex, I was looking forward to your pics....

BMW_E90 · 05-07-2007, 01:17 PM
