A Dutch first: Ingenious BMW theft attempt
Reading this article is honestly a bit of a domestic culture shock for me, where does this guy live in The Netherlands?<p>Here in downtown Amsterdam we called the police because the rear window of someone's car had just been smashed outside our office, and the police's response was "Has anyone been hurt? Nope? Then we're not coming".<p>Meanwhile, wherever this guy lives they're sending officers because some BMW call center calls the police in the middle of the night telling them that some car reported unspecified distress within some radius, and they sent officers to search the whole neighborhood for the car and locate the owner.<p>I guess the next time I need police help I'll use a burner phone and tell them a BMW is in distress.
