So I got a bit more information about what happened and none of it is good... Apparently after my Father got in contact with BMW’s SOS service the last known ping location was right before the Holland Tunnel. I now am pretty much sure that the worst has happened and it has entered the seedy regions that is NJ’s docks.

Here is what really annoys me at the moment. Before he found out where the last ping was BMW refused to tell him where it was saying that be needed to call the police to find out...excuse me? I am sorry the man lost HIS car under HIS name, insured by HIM and HE is the one who filed the police report and he has to ask around for information that they found. This then led him on a wild goose chase with various detectives as the car moved out of their jurisdictions. The tldr for this is that BMW just pointed him towards a circle jerk of incompetence as many of these detectives didn’t even take notes or anything. Unfortunately his car wasn’t the only thing that was taken as he always had his expensive set of golf clubs in the trunk. Fellow oppos keep your car keys close and you cars in shelter. I am a strong believer in that you don’t mess with another person’s automobile. I hope that karma comes around and the people responsible get hit by a bus or something. One thing I take away from this is that I will refuse to trust BMW’s SOS system for car tracking. I plan on hidding a separate GPS tracker deep in the car somewhere that I have control over.

Doesn’t the Holland Tunnel entrance have a shit ton of cameras and police presence? And traffic? Asshole should’ve been stuck there for a while, hopefully for cameras to see.

CCC is right by there too; if only they knew about this, maybe they could’ve helped somehow.

Hate to hear that, but I think that car is already on the next boat to Belieze.

A client of mine recently lost two vehicles in a twisted, not dissimilar way.

Police said to not anticipate seeing the vehicles again.

Hate that we had to find out like this that BMW’s factory tracking system isn’t reliable at all... Good info, at least. Best of luck, man!

Yeah, took him about an hour from taking it out of the garage to fleeing out of the state. Grid lock traffic and nothing was done. This incompetence is why my trust in BMW took a really big hit. As did my faith in the NYPD too.

Pretty much knew that was a likely possibility. I am still hopping that it is not the case but I knew as soon as it was headed through the Holland Tunnel it was pretty much gone.

That's SCUM AND VILLAINY, not VILLAINY AND SCUM. There's a difference.

Having faith in the NYPD was the first mistake. What did the garage people say? How did they take the keys to his specific car? How did they take the car elevator with no one hearing or seeing it? How was he able to drive away and not a valet handing over the keys?

Just like BMWs cars, BMW SOS is equally as unreliable!

Nah, I’ve been there before. I see similar cars on a daily basis just driving around.

Given all the money spent, there should be a BMW SWAT team being air-dropped into Jersey to find this car.
