Didn't someone stole like 3 BMWs from last year's show as well?

[edit] It was 6 BMWs at the port destined for the NY Autoshow last year

So did they find the car?

You would think security would have been a little more air tight.

The way Detroit's economy has been ravaged, this is not surprising..but what's even more stupid is if the culprits didn't ship out the car immediately...unless they stripped it for parts....but most parts have serial numbers on it...so who knows if stealing this car was really worth it...

LOL oh man so funny

The thieves may not realize the car has GPS tracking (BMW Assist). They better chop it in a hurry before the cops come & get them.

So looks like they still havent found the car. Not really good news for BMW, its taking them forever to find it!

I am almost positive, if they steal a car like this, they know what they are doing. Probably disable the BMWAssist and associated equipment and ship it away.
