Hey OP - I am a fellow NNJ resident (Essex co) I applaud your effort to catch these animals. This is unfortunately a common theme here in the garden state...
Good luck

Why not install a kill switch in your car? Shut your battery off when you park at night. My friend had it in his Honda car wouldn’t start unless you hit a hidden button in the car

This needs to be on the front page and pinned for a while. This is more valuable than another feature on a BMW with new wheels or a 20k mile review. This is important to anyone with a modern car. Especially if this method catches on. Park your car routinely in a public area for work? You could be a target.
Thanks for sharing your story, OP. Glad you had cameras!

This shit doesn’t happen in Montana. Everybody is assumed to be armed. Fuck around and find out.

OP.
Look into this device from Australia. I got it installed a couple of days ago. They can’t steal my car even with current active key inside. They stole my neighbors X3MC a month ago. I’ve posted on F97 forum about it. https://starterstopper.com

Lest we derail this thread and have it removed again, let’s get back on track folks.
Serious problem here, for the OP and many others in different parts of the world. Not going away, these issues, any time soon. |

Poor JerseyG80 is going to see his thread get deleted AGAIN because it went off the rails.
Those of us who care about our cars--which should be just about all of us--would be well served by seeing how this situation continues to play out. So can we please take the dick measuring contest to another thread? |

This is crazy. I wonder if this is why my gfs got stolen twice. And I heard things about the people that work in open road bmw and how someone was making keys. A friend told me this and that’s where her car was from. I hate being in fear though. This scares the shit out of me

I bet if they start putting the names of whoever processes these keys they’ll get to the bottom of it. You would figured something high end like a bmw dealer would’ve had this procedure done already.

It’s all dealers. Park Ave I heard is the culprit to most.

Wow. It’s really disgusting: they need to do better background checks on their employees

Should be easy for the dealers to check. One or two guys doing a lot of replacement keys above the normal key replacement volume is the place to start.

Insider theft happens everywhere and some are harder to avoid.
Around 2010 had my identity stolen with 6 credit cards opened by a low life. Personal investigation pointed to a dental office where I had my cleaning done. Since then keep my credit frozen all the time except for a week or two if I need to use it and don’t provide anyone my social(legally they can’t ask). Other scary one is cell phone company tech insiders doing SIM cloning and having customer’s entire savings and retirement funds drained because many financial companies use texting as a 2 step authentication.

Needing to wait the current lead time for a replacement would also suck. |
