I work at a BMW dealership and we had an X3 come in for routine maintenance. It sounded like a Honda Civic or even a Kawasaki dirt bike. After the tech threw it on the lift, he said that it looked like someone had taken a hacksaw to the car but only cut halfway. I pretty sure that someone was trying to steal the cat but gave up or something.

Yea I heard that on the news that all of a sudden cats were gettin hacked off. Took a while for people to realize they had expensive metals. Never tried to saw mine off...Illinois cops can detect that a mile away. But they don't enforce it on civics, or so it seems [:@]

They had a piece on the news about that happenning in NorCal, but it looks like the thieves here are targeting 4Runners and Tacomas. Looks like our Audis will be safe.
