POS took my steering wheel! How to prevent it?

All of that for a steering wheel?

I left the door open my e60 m5, someone got in and pulled my hardwired radar near the reading lights. Good thing the wires broke. I was relieved no other damage was done.

This world has gone crazy.

Apparently g wagons get the headlights stolen all the time
A pro does it in minutes and cuts the wiring harnesses so it needs full replacement
Insurance company hates it

sheeesh, that sucks bruv. Sorry to hear this. Louder aftermarket alarm (w glass break sensors) may be your best bet there.

people are trained to ignore the shit. Camera to capture the fuckers doing this and hope it gets a license plate

Hidden cameras internal to be enabled upon alarm being triggered? Bullet proof (type) glass? I recall back in my E60 days, someone in SA had their M5 bullet proofed (doors and windows) due to car jacking. Also in said thread, others were showing of there gun mounts interior and shotgun mounts in the boot.

Sorry this is the shitty world we now live in.

Same thing happened to my daughters car while she was staying with us.
I immediately fitted the Disc lock steering wheel cover. Afraid that's the only thing that will deter the thieving scumbags.
