Wrecked and stolen ti

[1rstbmw!]

So last night I take a ride with two of my buddies in my ti. I head down a rural road driving about 40-50 when a deer runs out in front. I swerve to miss and get in the grass on the right side of the road and it pulls my car off into the ditch.At the time it appeared that there wasn't any damage, so we decided to just pull it out.The only problem was is that it was stuck in there pretty good and didn't seem like it was going to come out on it's on.
Of course we didn't have any cell phone service so we walked up on top of the hill to call my cousin to pull us out.We waited on top of the hill for him to get there and we decided that with it being so dark it would do some damage to the car pulling it out.So we had him just run us to my house and we would come get it in the morning.
We get to where my car was only to find that it was gone The only thing left was a wheel well and side molding.I've filed a police report but my guess is that I'm not getting it back in one piece if at all.
More than likely if it doesn't show in the next week , I'm guesing that it's getting parted out. So I need everyone here to keep there eyes open for it or parts of it that may be sold online.This is really frustrating for me because the car only has liability insurance and is my only car.I'm still stunned that it was stolen given the area it was and the time frame they had to take it.Sorry for the long post but I'm just about to go crazy right now.

You sure it wasn't towed by the police?
Sounds like when I wrecked my car. I went to a nearby house for help and two guys looted the car.

Nope I've checked all the towing companies and so have the police.

man, sorry to hear about that...I would suggest getting full coverage next time though, its really not that much more, especially if you change companies.

It is for me I'm 18, and have a clear record it goes from $60 for liability to $140 for full coverage, but I was just about to switch it back because my car payments ended about 8 months ago.It would have been worth it, but to late now.Life lesson learned for me I guess.

Wow, I'm speechless. The only thing you could have done, was sleep in the car. But then you would have a rude awakening when the thieves came knockin'

wow. that really sucks. i have a question though because i am curious. Did you lock the car when you left it?? Cus if so ( and i am sure you did) then wouldnt locking the car also arm the anti-theft on the engine making it impossible for it to start??? Well I quess if the thief had a tow truck to pull it out he wouldnt need to start it. This sounds like a thief who has access to a tow truck and probaley has access to a junkyard or someone who could help him strip the car and find people to buy the parts because Ti's are rare and not just anyone would need those parts. Because if you locked that car then he cant start it anyway unless he his a BMW computer nerd or something or he just wants the parts anyways and it doesnt matter if the car will start while it is togther or not. SO.....did you lock it???

EWS is always active regardless of whether or not the doors are locked or the alarm is armed. If you are not using the right key with the proper electronic signal you will not be able to start the car.

Damn you guys down south are rough! Actually that might happen anywhere. Sorry to hear that your ti got jacked from the ditch. Some people just don't give us a break on our bimmers.

Kool, im finally getting my fender!

Nah man im just joking. That sucks man. My first car was on liability and got stolen too. I didnt get my car back after 6 months and only to find my skateboard and stereo missing. All my cds were still there (like 60 of em) and i was shocked the car came back to me like it left. I pay 100 for liability for my car now and itll be 250 a month for me to full cover my car. Which i kinda want to do now with all the money im throwing into it.

Hope you find it back though.

A good cutoff point is 10%, if you pay more than 10% of your cars value each year you should consider dropping collision and comprehensive. There will of cource be a few people that lose out, but a majority will come out ahead. I pay $140 a year for liability or about $500 a year for collision and comprehensive in addition.

Considering my Car is worth about $4,500 or less, I dropped to just liability. I could get a higher deductible on collision and comp, but then my deductible is a big portion of the cars value. I will just take the chance.

Sorry to hear that your car got stolen though, that sucks. I imagine someone just loaded it onto a truck and took off with it. How close are you with your friends, one of them isn't involved are they?

[1rstbmw!]

I left the keys in it. I know it was an idiotic move but you really have to know my town.This never happens here and I guess I was so pissed that I ditched it that I didn't think about the keys.If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

scabzzzz, give this kid his car back.

If it was the original engine and transmission your VIN should be on them and also on some of the body panels. Keep an eye out for any parts that go up for sale online and request the VIN # from the seller. Sorry to hear you got jacked.
