Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the post. How would one steal a 2006 550i? I suspect they managed to get the key or tow it?

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) They'd have to have the keys, so they probably took the car at the same time as a house break in. Edited December 2, 2011 by Ari Gold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 477 Report post Posted December 2, 2011 I used to see one of those cars around regularly. Interesting, I'd say most are imports (judging by the plates) with either standard anti theft or nothing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted December 2, 2011 you know, it wouldnt take to much to have number plate recognition running in busses with a cross reference to this data base. Could be reported back easy enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmarco 56 Report post Posted December 2, 2011 They'd have to have the keys, so they probably took the car at the same time as a house break in. Or the car was towed, and reported stolen incorrectly... you know, it wouldnt take to much to have number plate recognition running in busses with a cross reference to this data base. Could be reported back easy enough. Don't they already have this system running overseas? I'm sure I have seen footage of a cop cruising through a carpark with the system checking every numberplate he passed via machine vision. Might have been either Canada or the pacific northwest somewhere. Pretty cool stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2011 Im pretty sure the UK have something similar. Have heard they have scanners on the motorways etc that scan each place goes thru the system within seconds to check if stolen, reg out, no wof, etc etc. Then a cop is sent out after them depending on whats wrong (stolen would = cop & no reg would = ticket in mail). NZ can do this, wont take much and would mean police have more time to solve real crime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rogan 7 Report post Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) There was a news article on this a couple of weeks back. The hold up is the land rights for gay whales lobby group who think this will be the start of martial law. Looks like my people mover is safe.
