You didn't disclose that here at least.
But honestly, there are only so many hotels around the Ring, most of them is outdoor parking only and your car's colour really pops..........
A cloned key is one possibility, like someone said, BMW keys are very easy to clone, Porsche might also be. My gf's mother had her X3 broken into with a cloned key 7 times last year at home, not joking, 7 times. Even with a newly programmed key. They didn't steal her car, they keep checking the interior to find stuff to steal.
Using a recovery truck with a crane to lift your car straight off the road is another possibility. it will only take 3 mins or so and having a Porsche on the back of a recovery truck isn't that unusual around the area either. I mean the alarm does sound but most people are used to car alarm sounding at night and mostly ignored it already.
I did not mention I would go to the Ring on any social media nor here.
The car car stolen between 3 and 5 AM. A recovery truck lifting a car up at that time would of been very strange. It car parked in a street with private homes. But then, if it takes only 3 min
During the whole season you have nice cars parked outside in the different areas around the Ring. Mine was indeed in a spot that is very noticeable. But has been there many many times, and most of the time there are other cars like mine parked there. Now of course I would never do the again. Only in secured car parks would I leave it.
Strange yes, but how many would be up at 3-5am in the morning looking out the window?
Now if it is indeed a recovery truck job, probably a 3 men crew, after parking the truck, it takes about a minute to swing the boom over, another minute to lift and swing it back. With 2 guys securing attachment points to 4 wheels, it's very doable to do 2 wheels each within 60 seconds. They aren't regular tow truck drivers who work alone and care about damaging wheels and such.
The moment the car is lifted the alarm should start sounding, and even if the car continue to sound the alarm on the truck and driving on the road, most would just assumed an impounded car getting removed from parking illegally. Not many if at all would think a crime had just been committed.
It's probably more noticeable to people if they started the car and drive off, our ears are tuned more into cold starts of sports cars, and tuning out car alarms and 99% of those are false alarms and most sort of ignores it anyways, but would peek out the window to see who started what car and drives off so early.
In any case, good luck with dealign with the insurance company.
