Two car thieves steal one of BMW's 7-series worth $94,000 at Detroit Auto Show
The dark gray BMW 750 I xDrive sedan stolen Wednesday night was one of about 20 vehicles being used for executive transportation in and around the auto show, said Stacy Morris, marketing communications manager for BMW of North America.
The cars were being loaded on a truck near the Westin Book Cadillac in downtown Detroit around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when the theft occurred, she said.
The truck's driver went to grab something from inside the cab and was away from the BMW for about a minute when it was stolen, she said.
Police said a hotel valet brought the BMW flagship out of the garage and handed it over to the transporter staff. When the car wrangler stepped away, the two thieves jumped in and took off.
According to the report, the car is equipped with BMW Assist, so the company official may need not worry about that car much more, but fingers cross on what shape it will be recovered.

Last year, a total of 794,616 vehicles were stolen from their owners – a 17 percent drop compared to 2008. But this is one side of the coin. On the other hand the recovery of the lost cars were also low.
Last year, authorities were able to return just 42 percent of all stolen vehicles. That number marks a 25 percent decline compared to 2008. The reason? Law enforcement says that thieves are getting smarter all the time, and that most acts of vehicle theft are perpetrated by professionals who are skilled at their trade. Experts recommend following the usual tricks to make sure you're not a victim, including locking your vehicle, keeping valuables out of sight and parking it well-lit areas to make sure your vehicle doesn't wind up on the short list of those stolen in 2010.
