“So one rushed out and the bloody Beemer had gone – what a hoot!”
Its easily done. You’re a royal princess, toodling along South Ken high street in the personalised Beemer your dad bought you for your 17th birthday, when you decide to pull over and pop into a nice boutique with your police protection officer. When you come out – what a bugger – somebody’s done a runner in it! What to do next? I know, get the idiot police protection man to radio for help. Sure enough a marked police car rushes out followed by another, unmarked, car bringing your equally royal sister so you can both dive into the nearest pub and have a giggle about it all.
Leaving the keys in the ignition could have happened to any of us and it’s unlikely Beatrice’s dad would have been too harsh with her. How he felt about the police protection man on the other hand…
The method of theft deployed on Princess Beatrice’s BMW was the second most popular. The top technique is still home burglary/key theft. Identity theft is surprisingly the third most popular method and involves using stolen or forged documents to obtain a duplicate key. Fourth most popular is taking a test drive whilst pretending to buy the car. Scariest is what is called the ‘lifestyle’ crime whereby criminals carry out surveillance on the car user to determine best time and method of theft.
Anyone want to lease a really nice executive car with a unique reg.?
