一位来自德国的宝马车主的经历：他的 3 系被拆掉了关键组件，包括整个前端和仪表板，估计损失价值约为 20,000 欧元（22,000 美元）。

事件上周末发生在德国希尔登Hilden的林登Lindenplatz广场。这位 22 岁的3 系车主将车锁在停车场过夜。一大早，注意到车子被小偷“蚕食”，及时报了警。

这样导致这辆3 系无法辨认，因为它缺少了包括保险杠、引擎盖和前大灯在内的整个前端，发动机舱的几个零件也不见了。通常，小偷会瞄准车轮或停放车辆的三元催化转换器。

从外观看出这是第六代3 系（F30），生产于 2012 年至 2018 年之间。从丢失和损坏的部件的程度来看，估计为 22,000 美元。

Most petrolheads are anxious about parking their cars in public spaces due to the possibility of accidents occurring overnight, but this BMW owner from Germany had an even worse experience. Their 3-Series had been stripped off several components, including the entire front end and the dashboard, with estimated damages worth around €20,000 ($22,000).

The incident occurred in the Lindenplatz district of Hilden in Germany last weekend. The 22-year-old owner of the 3-Series left his car locked in a car park for the night. Early in the morning, two people noticed that the car was “cannibalized” by thieves and notified the police.

The 3-Series is unrecognizable since it is missing the entire front end including the bumper, hood, and headlights. The thieves had also stolen several parts from the engine compartment, leaving the car stranded on the spot. Usually, thieves target the wheels, or the catalytic converters of parked vehicles but in this case, they had other parts in mind.

Interestingly, the stealing spree didn’t end up there but continued inside the cabin of the BMW. The car is missing its entire dashboard assembly, the steering wheel, the instrument cluster, the infotainment screen, the gearknob, and the center console, as well as several trim pieces from the doors.

From the looks of the remaining parts inside the cabin, we can tell that this is a sixth-generation 3-Series (F30), produced anytime between 2012 and 2018. From the extent of missing and damaged components, the $22k estimate for the cost of repairs sounds pretty accurate, even though it might make more sense for the owner to buy a new car instead of fixing this mess.

In any case, we hope that the insurance company compensates the unlucky owner and the police catches the audacious thieves. On that front, the investigation hasn’t resulted in suspects to date, with the Mettmann police asking for any information from witnesses that saw a large vehicle or a van in the area, during the night hours between Friday, June 3rd and Saturday, June 4th.
