[BMWAlpinaC2]

I knew it was going to happen.

This morning my Tech 2 sport got stolen, used for a burglary, and then burned out at the back of Slough train station in.

I feel for you, my throat has a big lump in it, one of my pride and joys has gone now...

unlucky mate , but it ture i have left my bmw left open unlocked and battery removed and nothing got nicked (dvd screen , amps , subs , cd's) its just luck i guess , but on my escort , sum messed up the petrol cap lock , and passenger side lock , and then then about 4 weeks ago before i sold it , sum nicked both wing mirrors and crossed all the wire's with each other and left it touching the body ,luckyly it was fused. also my mates rover metro they nicked the Jan speed exhaust worth over £400 and left the rest of the car untoched.

New door definatly required. Golf mk2s used to get done in a not to disimilar way but the lock was intergrated with the handle IIRC, I wonder if there is a reinforcement plate that could be used?

Mk1/2 Golfs (and Polos, Sciroccos etc) were incredibly easy to get into - punch through the door skin under the handle and move the latch. Have seen many in scrappers done like that. There was a reinforcement plate sold for them that screwed down underneath the handle and prevented anyone damaging the skin around it - very, very popular mod and did the job well. I used to have a Scirocco - that was the first thing I did to it.

Allow that man, everytime I have to park the Alpina with the roof down on a nice sunny day in a public place, I always take the steering wheel with me, I never leave it in, original steering wheel and it's a bast**d to remove and fit, but worth not getting the car nicked, of course, all this is on top of the normal security measures like locks and stuff!!


No steering wheel, no drive

I know people around my area want my Alpina, and they wouldnt mind nicking it for a drive.
I even had a guy asking me to take him for a little ride when i was filling it up at the pumps, I was like, what the **** was that all aboput!

were i come from you don't need a steering wheel to drive it away ...just a pair of mo grips will do ...seen loads of sports stolen without any lock damage ...

Not sure your insurance would cover you, with the roof left down tbh.
Although i,m guilty of it too.

A simple switch to short circuit the fuel pump supply wire, and it would have been unlikely to have gone anywhere.

LMAO, and what, blow it up even if my wife tried to start it up and move it onto the road and blow her up inside to lol?

That'd be a good thing to have though. If you can't have it, noone can have it lol!

It would not blow up. It would of disabled your fuel supply.

on my touring ive got an alarm, imobiliser and an amusing sign as my anti theft devices the sign reads " this BMW is guarded by me with a shot gun 3 nights a week........guess which 3.. (i ripped it off a sign i saw in skeggy once

also my mates rover metro they nicked the Jan speed exhaust worth over £400 and left the rest of the car untoched.

they made the right choice the exhaust would have a certain resale value

All that would happen is fuse 11 would blow, and, after that, attempts to hot wire it would fail.
Even if they discovered the blown fuse, a fresh one would fail again.
