STOLEN 1971 BMW 2002

[Matt Pipkin]

**CAR STOLEN**

 

Hi friends, my classic light blue 1971 BMW 2002 was stolen Saturday night in Boise, Idaho and I’m asking you to keep your eyes peeled. There was apparently 3 vintage cars stolen in the Boise area over the weekend - this 1973 VW Bus and this 1964 Jaguar XKE. 

 

My BMW was seen being loaded onto a flatbed truck around midnight Saturday night in the Hillcrest Country Club area on Boise’s Bench.

 

(*Note - It has a clean and clear title, so it was not impounded or repossessed.) Idaho plate, number 1A VG501.

 

Please share this around. If you see or know anything or have a hunch, please contact Boise Police immediately. Thanks so much!

 

-Matt

So sad to hear of your loss. You may want to think about posting a notice on FB  with some of the BMW  02 groups.  I got lucky, had my e30 jacked last year, got it back  after being spotted 6 hours after I posted a BOLO.  Good luck with your search.

Matt, I grew up in Boise (swimming in the Hilcrest CC pool), reaching out to my friends back there right now.  Really really stinks to hear this, hopefully they catch these snakes asap.

Sooo sorry to hear about your car!!!!!!!

 

Based on the list of the other classics stolen, this sounds like a "steal-to-order" job.

Please alert authorities at the western port cities...Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Long Beach, San Diego.

Sounds like these cars may have been snatched for overseas scoundrels.

That totally sucks. I noticed the VW van is listed as recovered now - hope your car has a similar fate!

That's shitty! Sending to my buddy in Boise right now!

Oh man that’s effing terrible. Hope you locate it soon.

Very sorry to hear!

 

I would list the VIN here — it’s the best means to verify the car.

 

And... if it’s not already in this forum’s Registry (choose Browse / Registry / Add new vehicle), I would enter it in the Registry, along with photos and its last whereabouts.

 

I do hope you recover it.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Hey, thanks a ton! I grew up swimming in that same pool!  Really appreciate you sharing this.

Yeah, sounds like the bus was an unrelated deal. The Jag and my 2002 seem to be related in that they were both loaded onto flatbeds. https://www.facebook.com/911NPD/photos/a.663228130366854/3818195348203434/
