A little crosspost from Bimmerpost, I’ve had my f80 for a couple of years and thought I’d share my nightmare from late last year.
At the time I lived in an apartment building with an optional pay-per-space garage (which is where my car lived). It had at one time a fully closing floor to ceiling gate, but that had unfortunately been out of operation for a couple of years.
To walk the dogs, my fiancé and I would walk through the garage, out to a common grassy area. One morning she came back from the dog walk and immediately said “Elk…….. I think something happened to your car!”
I took the elevator down to find the scene in the attached image :(
The glass was from my neighbor (both in parking and in the building, coincidentally) whose Hyundai was affected by the recent spate of thefts. No transponder, someone stole her car, hit mine backing out, and took it for a joy ride.
Fortunately, a door replacement and some paint later, everything is wonderful with the car, I was just out the deductible!
Yeah it certainly could have been worse!
