'Theft-proof' police car stolen

A top-of-the-rang, theft-proof £75,000 police car was stolen in Berlin after officers left it unlocked with the key in the ignition. The special BMW was the pride of the Berlin police force. It featured high tech surveillance equipment, sophisticated electronic locks and automatic immobilisers to secure it against would-be thieves… supposedly.

Ananova reports that the car was stolen in the city’s Wedding district when two officers jumped out to chase a joy-rider on foot after he had abandoned a stolen car. The criminal got away and when the officers went back they found the expensive BMW gone.

The pair are facing disciplinary action. Police chiefs say they have no leads on who may have stolen the car and are still looking for it.
