Stolen M-tech 2 rear bumper

[bimmerobsession]

Yeah I retraced my exact steps like 30 minutes after I found it to be missing. Than I tried to retrace them the next morning when it was light out. I find it alot more likely that I got it stolen :(

i would pursue any tapes that Home Depot has. Unfortunately the quality on those is usually less than stellar. It would be helpful to find teh make of car that stole it, etc. If it fell off the car you should be able to retrace your steps to and from HD and see it busted up on the side of the road. I doubt that it just fell off, but keep your eyes open when you drive to HD next.

Paint just needs to be wetsanded and buffed to be perfect .
Oh there might also be a run in the clear though .
It is even freshly washed ...perfect piece for you or anyone wanting to update their rear .

I do have one question how did you miss this when you approached the car?

[bimmerobsession]

Man I don't know what happened it all seems so unlikely, but all I know my bumper was on the car and is now no longer there. Yeah I got a hold of Home depot and they are supposed to call me back tomorrow. Thanks for keeping your eye out guys.

I can't believe someone would pull this off, wow. Deff. check if there are security tapes available...

I would say some one followed you and had a perp follow you in the store. Mighty ballsy if you ask me due to you never know when someone is going to walk out and see someone stealing parts off your car. Around here someone would probably get shot for that at least on the Southeast side of town.

Bellingham is full of stoned hippies who are afraid of guns. I'd be surprised if anyone got shot there.

I don't know how hard it is to remove the rear bumper but I would imagine that someone wouldn't be able to pull off a job like that without people seeing you and/or asking them if they needed help.

I doubt that it could have fallen off without you knowing.. the bumper hitting the ground would have made enough noise for you to say, "What the heck was that?" because it would not have fallen off in one big drop. One side would have come loose causing it to drag down the road until it eventually broke free completely.

And then another thing I think of is how the plastic bumper on my 89 325i was knocked off the bracket because someone parking next to me at the supermarket took the turn a little too sharp. The side of her car rubbed up against my bumper and then all of a sudden, there was a loud POP and my bumper was on the ground.

Start reviewing Ebay and my next suggestion would be to ask Home Depot for the Security tapes of the parking lot if they have a security camera.

Maybe with some luck they had one. Worth a chance or maybe someone reported some strange activity i the parking lot.

It's pretty much the local 'buy & sell' - like CL, but all local to B'ham.

wow, never seen an mtech2 around here.. but if I do I'll let you know. that's really odd that somebody would steal an E30 bumper in a town where there are maybe 5 nice ones..

Here is what gto watch out for.
Color: White
It was freshly painted when I painted my car and has yet to get wet sanded. So the paint would be more pebbled.
There might be a run from the clear coating still

That's really sad. I'll be on the lookout on Craigslist as well.
