BMWs were a very popular target for people who wanted their car radios. I had just gotten married and was borrowing my father-in-law’s BMW, and it was broken into and the radio stolen. The joke going around at the time was people would leave a note on the car saying that there was no radio. The joke was that the window would still be broken and the burglar would write below that note, just checking.
