Stolen Car BMW X3


TED44

Recommended Posts

We had our Car stolen last night between 10pm and 8:30am this morning. It is a black BMW X3 with a black roof box on it, registration YD08 XUG. It was on Goodrich road between Friern and Barry Road. If in the unlikely event you might see it abandoned on local streets please could you let me know.


Many thanks

Sorry to hear you have been a victim of this. There is an ongoing spate of these thefts with high end motors being "lifted" in the early hours of the morning.

If you own a such a motor suggest a really good movement sensor alarm PLUS a thick chain and giant padlock (something like this)between the steering wheel and peddles.

I know its a faff every time you want to use the vehicle but this may deter potential thieves from taking what's your.

Its easier to steal cars with no proper immobiliser. Newer cars are more difficult to steal due to them being run by a main computer.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
