I am going to play the devil's advocate here. If two black guys was just a description, why wasnt the neighbor describe as black and why wasn't the OP describe as white?

Can't lie, I did cringe a bit reading the first post. Given times we live in, maybe unfortunate choice to describe potential thieves, but I think OP explained himself well in later posts.
As for your car getting stolen. If someone wants it, they'll take it, one way or another, so I wouldn't worry too much. It's not the kind of car that's stolen by kids for joyrides, if it's gone, it's likely that you're dealing with well organized folks. It would probably end up chopped or shipped overseas. Either way, not much you can do, no guaranties in life eh. |

OP...You described them perfectly, so please, if anyone is/was offended, don't be. I'm black and yes I drive a '11 550. I worry about my vehicle being stolen...LMBAO"...and I live in a "golf community"......I would have discribed them the same way myself. "LMBAO" Just secure your valuables and keep your vehicle safe.

Sad commentary on a real problem we are dealing with all over this country of ours. Admin should take the original post down to spare Isturbointeg additional embarrassment.

Going back to your original question, I would never leave a nice car parked in a bad neighborhood, I would drive the BMW to work or sell it. Last edited by The X Men; 05-14-2015 at 10:13 AM.. |

i don't give a shit about anyone's race or their feelings. Everyone are humans as far as I'm concerned. I hate being PC about trivial things like description and how people judge you. I'll just give you the facts why I would be worried if 2 black guys were to express special interest in my car.
1. Of the 12 occurrences where something was stolen from me, 9 times was a black guy, 2 a black female, 1 white guy. 10 of the 12 were from neighbors(I lived in a bad neighborhood) and 2 were smash and grab. 2. Statistically speaking, theft crime rate and crime rates in general is much higher with the black population. 3. Statistically, blacks have the highest poverty rate by far and there's a high correlation between poverty and crime rate in every color. While I respect everyone the same, I'm more cautious with things in certain areas. Now I live in a wealthier area with very low crime and I wouldn't care what color your skin is if you're eyeing my stuff. You can even ask me if you can get inside and I will probably let you if I have time. For those race card throwing retards that wants to be PC and applying it on others, they are being complete hypocrites. It's anyone's preference to be suspicious or alarmed by specific groups of people if there's a clear trend of malicious behavior from them. That's not saying they're racist towards that, it's saying it's their right to be fearful of malicious intent. It's their preference to avoid that possibility. You know what's actually racist? when you start calling other people racist for describing a person's skin color. When you start doing things that harm people of specific race. All the people here giving the OP a hard time are just stupid pricks. |

Always have full coverage insurance, even if the car is paid off. Other than that, it was probably some guys admiring your car.

People should stop being all butt hurt about the OP describing the race of the individuals in question. I'm sure if they were trashy, trailer-home white crackers he would've described them just as they were. Don't think he meant to offend anyone by saying their race. If you've been in any sort of security force, you'd know that race is important to identify an individual.
