FROM CBS SF:

Quote:

"SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A man who allegedly stole a $100,000 BMW car from a San Francisco dealership Monday morning was arrested an hour later following a hit and run collision and domestic dispute nearby.

The 37-year-old suspect entered the BMW of San Francisco dealership on the 1600 block of Howard around 5 a.m., according to San Francisco police officer Albie Esparza.

When officers arrived, they found the front of the dealership with smashed windows and misplaced cars.

The suspect first attempted to steal a black car after locating the locked box where the key are stored, Esparza said. But after unsuccessfully attempting to take the first car, the suspect stole a M3 worth about $100,000 and rammed it through the side window onto the street.

Five minutes later, police responded to a call of an injury hit and run collision at Mason and Post streets involving a new BMW. KPIX reporter Lisa Chan reports the suspect fled the scene after crashing into a parked taxi cab where the driver was sleeping. He was not seriously injured.

At around 6:30 a.m., a police officer responded to a domestic dispute between a man and a woman. The was detained by an officer and determined to be the suspect from the burglary investigation and hit and run collision earlier in the morning.

The suspect will be booked at the San Francisco County Jail.

The family who owns the BMW of San Francisco dealership told KPIX they have never had this type of burglary in over 60 years of business."

Apparently this car had a $15k markup...

No business should have to go through that. It's one thing to take a car from a lot but another to drive it through the window.

Maybe he was inspired by Gone in 60 seconds HAHA

.......that'll learn them to not let him go for a test drive.

...so I guess the CCB's aren't that great after all.

How bad is their security system? He had enough time to locate and break in to where the keys were kept and then move multiple cars before ultimately stealing the M3?

Maybe I read it wrong, wow.

Tires must have been low by 2 PSI.

LOL -- cuz its easy to hide this color car. Just drive it down the street and no one will notice the color or sound.

After watching that scene in 'Gone in 60 Seconds', I was just about to do this. Darn, he beat me to it! Wait, that was a Porsche...

The real crime here is a dealer trying to sell a $100K M3!

Based on the pictures, that is a total loss. Sad ending to a beautiful car.
