That above is exactly what I do :wink:

As I mentioned earlier these incidences are very common and I believe happen everywhere with every car brand/type - bar Ferrari, from what I know...when you get your typical 18-25 year old work shop grease monkey, who knows he'll never be able to drive/own certain type of cars, they'll go out of their way to take one for a good thrashing, so I simply don't trust any of them, never have and take appropriate steps to make sure it dosn't happen to me !

I do all work to all my cars myself and am lucky to have a 1st cousin who's a pro 'grease monkey' with his own garage work shop and go there if the work is beyond my capabilities :smile:

However as mentioned if it's a new car and it has to go back to the dealership for servicing, I make sure to only book it so as to be able to hang around and wait for it - no low life moron would dare take it for a thrash whilst the owner is present !!!

Well if they seize your 135 then asked for the M3 for exchange.

I will sue their ass off if that happens to me.

BTW I have a camera stolen from Honda few years ago. So long ago that dealership no longer exists! At camberwell as well.
