                  Most of the time all you have to do is take the wheels, they are worth more than the rest of the car.

                          Hey, Memphis, you know, we still have the Mercedes keys from the last boost.

                          Hey! Those cars are at the police impound. Okay? The police impound. You want us to go there and start stealin' cars?

                          Well... Yeah.

                                      These are not Honda Civics.
                                      This is an E30
                                      a car they say is unstealable.
                                      Yeah, unless you get the laser-cut transponder key...
                                      sent directly to the U.S. dealer from Hamburg.

                                              Thing is BMW is now saying that well, you're screwed. There's nothing you can do. Sorry. All that laser-cut business seams like a load now doesn't it?
