There's this middle-aged guy, John, that comes into my work, and he drives (well, drove...read on) a REALLY NICE 4-door 1990 325i. Lachssilber, perfect basketweaves, the works. I hadn't seen him in a while, and he came in tonight. I asked him how the 325i was doing, and he laid this on me...
He took the car in to Carerra Motors (the local BMW-Audi-VW-Porsche dealership) for service and a few motor and suspension repairs. Well, the car was there for nearly two weeks. On the 12th day it had been there, they called him and told him he could come pick it up the next day. He gets there the next day, and the car is nowhere to be found on the lot. Every employee is then scrambled to the main office of the dealership with John to be asked if they had seen the car. No one has seen it, and the guys that detailed it and parked it, and all the mechanics who serviced it, remember seeing it in the lot as they left that night.
The car is declared stolen, but here's the kick in the nuts. Carerra Motors claims they are not responsible for the car being stolen off of their lot after hours. Luckily, John's insurance covered the theft of the car, then sued Carerra for the full value of the car and damages. They won.
Cut to six months later. The police find John's car in Portland, Oregon, 3 hours away. But while this may sound great, it was most certainly not. The car's license plates were swapped with that of a wrecked car from Washington, and the car was joyridden for what appeared to be about 10,000 miles over the course of the six months. The car was completely beaten to hell. Dents all over the car from baseball bats and people kicking it, the engine ran like shit, the suspension was destroyed from what appeared to be the theifs jumping the car several times, and that's not all.
Before being ditched and found by the cops, the car was used in a robbery, and someone was killed in the car. The interior was completely destroyed, full of bullet holes, and there was blood sprayed all over the inside of the car. The court seized the car for evidence, and it was used to convict the people responsible for not only the theft of the car, but for the robbery it was used in, and the murder of the man killed in the car.
The funny part? The state asked him if he wanted the car back.
