Default Almost Stolen...

Hi guys,

I used to post on here all the time when I had my S4 (under a different name). Anyway, I sold the S4 in August when my 02 Imola Red M3 arrived. Well, looks like the NJ theft ring isnt limited to S4's!! I came out of the movies last night around 1:30 or so (Loews New Brunswick on Route 1). Unlocked the car using my keyring and noticed my cell phone charger, sunglass case, and parking permit on the floor....Now I know they werent on the floor like that when I got out. Checked all my possessions: Passport 8500 was still there, CD Case, etc. nothing was taken. As I look outside the car I notice that everything is fine, BUT the drivers side keyhole. It was drilled and popped with a screwdriver. Theives must've been looking for the valet key. Needless to say, I thought I would warn you guys to be careful when parking there.

Sorry to hear. The NJ area is not a good area for German Cars. :-(

Default Loews New Brunswick

Loews is definitely known for cars being stolen, not as much as Amboy Cinemas, but nonetheless. I used to use The Club but that seems too easy to take off. I bought the AutoLock from Pep Boys and that gives me much more peace of mind. The only drawback is it is a little more annoying to get on and off. They have security driving around at Loews .. Guess they are just looking out for T&A.

Default Thanks for the heads up...and sorry about your car!

I've always felt pretty safe in the NB area, but yeah, that theater parking lot scares me a bit (they know once you go in, you won't be back for two hours).
