One of my customers cars was stolen right off the lot of my shop.

The car is an 88' BMW M6 that has 47k original miles, color is black with gray interior. In mint condition.

License place is: 2GOFAST

It was stolen between 1am to 8am on 9/7/07

I would post pics, but I guess I need to post another 75 posts to do so...

If you have seen any where abouts of this car, please call 911 and reach me at my cell ANYTIME 253-228-7463

-Thanks, Erik

Gig Harbor was a clean town, until the meth heads moved out here...

That's some ballsy shit to jack a car straight off the lot. No security cameras on there???

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the car, they better not desicrate this beauty of a vehicle!!!

It just happens to be my sheer luck, I had my front fence tore down temporarily because I am having my landscape redone.
My surveillance wasnt active... but it definitely is now!

Normally I keep the more expensive cars locked up in my shop, but all my bays were full on the lifts and there was other more expensive cars in my other bays.

I feel really stupid as well, it was just a few weeks ago a dealership that is 1 business down from mine was also broke into, keys were stolen as well as stereo systems, but due to their fence system, no cars were stolen.
It was completely caught on surveillance, but it did no good.

Who steals an M6??? It's not exactly a VW beetle, that's a hot f-ing car. I'm sure if I was cracked out I would steal an M6. Sucks to hear about that.

What upsets me the most is that I live right out back of my shop, not even 15 yards back, and I didnt hear a thing... :confused

It probably wasn't meth heads...most likely the car has already left the port and is destined for asia or the middle east.

who steals a car with a vanity plate?? Good luck finding it, but I don't think you're going to, someone who steals a car like that probably isn't goin for joyrides, too easy to get caught

Probably right. Someone, somewhere wanted a low milage M6.

There is almost nothing worse than the feeling in your gut when something has been stolen from you. I'm sorry to hear about this.

So far, to my knowledge, there has been no sign of the M6. Today I am going to go over to a neighbor business of mine, whos car lot was busted into, but no cars were stolen, just keys and stereos, to see if he found any information on who broke into his place.

Saw that car at the Griot's M Car day, flawless condition.

I'll keep my eyes open for it, it's hard to miss.

Still haven't found it?

ok, wow, a state trooper just came to notify me that the car was found. He didnt notify me of exactly "when and where" it was found, other than "it was close to one of my mechanics homes" - treating me with a bad attitude as if he is a suspect.

I highly doubt that he would have taken the car, he wouldnt have any reason to do so, even if he did, knowing how smart he is, the car wouldnt have ever been found.

He is actually a mechanic that works for me on call, and only on call for domestic cars, he has no taste in imports, at all...

I am pissed...

At least they found your customer's car though.

How far away did it end up being from the shop? What kind of condition is it in now?... assuming the trooper gave you some sort of details....

I wasnt given much details as far as any damaged. The trooper told me that it was "found near one of my mechanics homes"

not knowing "how close" to my mechanics house, but he lives up in Port Orchard.

I guess if I were to live in Tacoma and the car were to be found in Tacoma, it would be considered "close to my house"

My shop is off of Purdy Drive in Gig Harbor. My house is right out back.

How would you steal an M6 in the first place, wouldnt you need a key? Only other way is to tow it?

I remember seeing a feature story on that bird -- the local community actually donates money to cover the cost of the chips it steals.
