Leaving a BMW 5 Series unlocked with the keys plugged in the ignition is a clear call for the car to get stolen. However, with state of the art technology, if the car gets stolen, BMW Corporate will not only help track it down but turn the car into a prison for the thief. According to the Seattle Police Department, a car thief stole a BMW 550i, parked with the keys inside. The vehicle’s owner had loaned the car to a friend who accidentally left the keys inside the car. The Seattle Police Department contacted BMW corporate and were able to track down the vehicle. As officers approached the vehicle parked in an alley, with the engine running, they discovered the thief had fallen asleep at the wheel. BMW employees were able to remotely lock the car’s doors, turning the luxury vehicle into a prison for the suspect. Officers booked the suspect for auto theft and drug possession after they discovered methamphetamine from the suspect. BMW provides a service to its customers through a “Connected Drive” program which allows the BMW staff to lock or unlock a vehicle using the SIM-card based system. The “Connected Drive” system however comes with its own set of problems. In 2015 BMW discovered that the system was prone to be hacked.
