Bimmer Bummer

by Jerry Danzig

At 6:15 in the evening of Saturday, June 1, a 43-year-old man from Hopewell, NY parked his BMW SUV in a legal parking spot on Vestry Street. When he returned three days later at 10:30 a.m, he found his vehicle was missing. Aside from himself, only his mother had access to the car, and she had not taken it. Police conducted a canvass of the area but couldn't locate the Bimmer. The owner of the missing vehicle checked with the towing pound, as well as the sheriff and Marshall's office, and none of them had his ride. The stolen car was a black 2006 BMW X5 with New York plates, valued at $20,000.
