Racecar Stolen.... grrr
Discussion
Ahh b
ks... just heard that we had two trailers and a racecar stolen overnight from BMsport. If anybody sees a grey E30 M3 with bright orange BMSport written down the side being trailered around please note the vehicle towing this & location and contact us asap.
Tom@bmsport.com or call 0208 304 97 97 and speak to anyone there.
Car looks identical to this...but not this one.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
It's worth putting a post up on the PBMW forum too. There's a lot of BM folk and people who know more BM folk around there.

Absolutely gutted for you – I know exactly how you feel.
By unhappy coincidence, my racing car (picture below) was also stolen from Bexleyheath in November – although in my case, this was November 2007.
As has been suggested, I pinged all of the track day folk; and emailed all of the organising clubs, race circuits and motorsport businesses that I could think of.
However, at the suggestion of my business partner’s wife, I also contacted the News Shopper (a local free paper) and got them to run a story on the theft which highlighted the difficulty of selling, or using, such a car and headlined with my offer of a substantial (£5000) reward.
Out of the blue, some very grubby and shifty types of a ‘Thieving F*cking Pikey’ persuasion arrived on my doorstep and told me that they had seen my car - unfortunately (shock!) the trailer was gone – but, in return for my not passing on their details to the police, they would be happy to accept a mere thousand as a reward.
Obviously, we can all fill in the sub-text of this conversation which goes as follows:
Yes, your road name was not even mentioned in the News Shopper but we knew where you live;
Yes, it was us who stole your trailer (because we can sell trailers);
Yes, when we looked inside we thought ‘B*llocks, what the f*ck are we going to do with that?’;
Yes, when we saw your thing in the News Shopper we spotted an opportunity to make another grand on top of the money that we had already received for your trailer;
Yes, we have completely ripped you off.
But the fact is that – on the basis of the information that they gave me – I retrieved my car (largely undamaged (from a grubby yard in Erith)); it only cost me a £1,000 for a £40,000 car and I won’t have to spend the rest of my life with a brick through my window because I shopped them to the ‘Old Bill’.
Just a thought. In the meantime, I’ll keep ‘em peeled. If I can be of any help, just let me know.
