Stolen BMW M2, where bandits outsmart BMW security systems using relay theft technique

The M2 is a very special M series car, built in low volumes, it's light weight and extremely nippy !
Never before have we heard of a stolen BMW M2 being successfully recovered. These specialist high performance cars are stolen to order by professional organised criminals.
On the 16 May 2018 Bandits captured the customer keycode whilst he was sleeping and then simply drove off. The standard fit BMW tracker had been removed in minutes as a police officer delivered it back to the owner along with other vehicle contents. This gear was found close to the theft location on the side of the road.
With no GPS signals to track Automatrics attempt to successfully track down the car down using GSM and RF location techniques.
An Automatrics radio signal finder is deployed from Southampton to Solihull Birmingham to meet up with four police pursuit vehicles.
Watch to find if the Automatrics MTrack GPS, GSM and RF theft recovery tracking system and four armed police response units can fight back against organised crime.

It's a joke that such expensive keyless cars can get stolen so easily. Manufacturers should be held to account

[@TehHijack]

Anything can get stolen if you are determined enough. Cars that are stolen to order will get stolen no matter what even if it means car jacking you and sticking you in the trunk and just tying you up and leaving you somewhere.

doesnt fucking matter if you have a forklift and a truck. any goddamn car. should we sue the car manufacturer not strap a 10 ton anchor to it? people been doing similar kind of stuff for ages. with everything gone "smart" now. you can hack anything. damn even they can hack my smart fridge to make a shit load of ice and over freeze the baby milk.

[@Teddy-vs5rw]

If the manufacturer wants to put a sophisticated alarm system in the car, there needs to be a guide book for the authorised service centre so they know how to repair it. No matter how complicated, it will be described here. Needless to say, these guides do disappear sometimes ...

There's a good tip. You should also be fit a cheap and nasty sim style tracker to cars along with your own hidden system. When they find the cheap tracker they just stop looking.

It's good to see the Automatrics are solving other crimes at the same time

[@CarStaty]

If you have a keyless car, I would highly recommend using a faraday bag to block the signal given from the key. This then prevents the relay method of theft. Additionally, it’s best to use physical methods such as a steering lock or a wheel lock. These methods will prevent a thief, but if someone strongly wants your car; they’ll go through extreme lengths to have it.

I agree. if found it tact at least the owner could sell it straight on and he might not loose too much. But I wouldn't want it after it was a basket case.

[@AutomatricsMtrack]

Professional criminals we don't believe joyride, more they are paid to do a covert job. The customer wanted to avoid 5 years damage on his insurance profile and the DVLA depreciation caused by stolen status. The plan was for BMW to rebuild the car for him as good as new as all the parts were recovered at this site. We were even going to film the presentation of the car at the end of the video. But the recovery company lost some parts, a real travesty, and stress overload for the owner, who in the end decided to claim on his insurance. However, the claim loss value was significantly reduced by the proceeds from selling recovered parts. The more you can reduce a theft claim on your insurance the less resulting damage penalty you will receive in the future.

He got the car back, but didn't rely on the alarm - he installed a hidden fuel cut-off switch in it. Quite soon after, he got up one morning and found his car gone again - but this time, he found it abandoned just down the road. His cheap little cut-off switch did its job.

[@Chris675R]

This is outrageous and shouldn't be the case, since it's not your fault. I'm glad that it works different here in Germany. If your car gets stolen, your insurance will pay the value of the car and it won't go up if you make a claim. Also you get new car price compensation for up to two years. So even your car has 20k miles on it and it's 1,5 years old, you still get the sticker price back from your insurance.

[@AutomatricsMtrack]

We certainly helped West Midlands police with an important part in their puzzle. The fact the BMW standard tracker was found and presented to the owner raises questions. Like why would any car manufacturer source just one supplier for covert theft recovery security technology, when the partnering process itself deems the system to be known, and thus, to no longer be covert. For this reason alone, we would always recommend to avoid standard fit OEM trackers completely.

[@mrhuffler9791]

yes, exactly.

Let's just say you will have more chances. It's not just another system, do your homework, self fit battery units are going to be more covert as they offer more places to hide. Also consider units that can locate with or without GPS signals, indoors or outdoors as they will offer best performance.

Trouble is its the poor driver, and also the rest of us who suffer with higher premiums. The courts should bang these scum up for 15 years and make them do it.

[@harrickvharrick3957]

If I understand correctly, the key of this car can be enticed from outside to send its own unlocking radio code? That seems absurd.

[@blackcorp0001]

Just heart breaking ... you work your arse off to save up for your dream car, and some slimebag steals it for parts ... I hope they catch these pricks through forensic evidence

[@Zondaa]

I have a Clio RS, what can be done to prevent this happening to me?

[@scoobystichris790]

Car thieves should get 30 years in prison minimum. I love my car and it took me 18 years to save up for it, it’s part of the family.

[@justsain3236]

I know exactly what you mean brother; as someone who works hard for what I own.

[@richardpage5281]

I absolutely love these videos,I've watched every single one. I love the seeking out of the equipment and the various techniques the thieves use to try and circumvent your trackers. Of course they fail at hiding the equipment. I wish we could have more of these videos from you guys but I take it you may not have these scenarios happen often. A live video would be good next time maybe? Regardless,keep em coming.

[@richardharries5825]

What ! ! ! Do a live video. You may as well not have the automatrics tracking system. Let’s just let that group of thieves know that they are on KZbin Facebook and all other social media platforms. Here’s our live video. Which we are about to recover an unknown amount of stolen vehicles.

[@Alien937]

Go get them guys! Grand job

[@andydunnock8114]

I hope the indicators were still there?

[@Jademyheart]

Police " can't come in to many footprints " Another copper comes walking in all over the place. God there jobsworth knobs 😂

[@garywatson]

"Jobsworth" is one of those British words that we really need in America. Hard to translate but it's excellent.

[@jamieelliott5205]

This needs to be a tv show

[@dlpereira]

There were trackers at one stage that could turn off the car remotely. Maybe you guys should investigate that option...

[@killa47100]

OldSkoolFunkn80s we developed a tracker like this and we took it to the police about it to get there backing on it they said we couldn’t sell it due to the thief in the car might crash and it also locked the door they said it’s against the law to hold someone at there free will bullshit if you ask me

[@dlpereira]

Ukrapscene Free Will?. Yep complete bullshit. Dont know why manufacturers today are so poor with anti theft..

[@ChristopherWoods]

Yep, that tallies with what I was told by an alarm installer (based in the Midlands). Thatcham Cat 5 trackers are theoretically capable of stopping the engine, but the police won't remote disable the engine while the vehicle's in motion as it could cause an accident. The capability has been used a handful of times if that, seems they prefer to track the vehicle once it's parked up.

[@killa47100]

OldSkoolFunkn80s the tracker we had developed had the capability of locking the person in the car no way out but they said no so now we just fit them on our own cars

[@SuperDaaaaaan]

U.K rapescene. I don't know how accurate the trackers are but if the police did use an engine cut off tracker then surely if they caught the thieves still in transit then they could tell when the vehicle had stopped at traffic lights and then switched it off, nothing dangerous about that if they could do it.

[@ambitionsskyyyy]

If I had a 50 grand motor I would also have 2-3 shit cars to park around it and ‘trap’ it on my drive so no fucker can steal it without moving the other cars first.

[@luisvilla101]

I would rather have a kill switch to the fuel pump or ignition.

[@nfsfreak98]

if they tow it, youre f#ed

[@luisvilla101]

To much noise.

[@nfsfreak98]

They push it down the road, then tow it

[@luisvilla101]

Once they try started its game over and no one will know it has a trick.

[@Ownage4lif31]

Actually thus happened when he was sleeping. As a result, killing the fuel pump would not work. By the time he wakes up, it's already stripped overnight.

[@user-tk4ys7xs1l]

Who do the thieves usually sell the parts to?

[@fourbyfourblazer]

It wouldn't be a surprise to find out that BMW employees are involved.

[@juandontworryaboutit4150]

True they got the resources and tools for the car lol

[@speedmachine69]

Coppers would be well impressed whenever Gandalph rocks up with his beep boop contraption
