Car thief faces instant justice.

But was the shooting legal? News says he’s not expected to face charges.

Did shooter leave keys in car, was it running, when he went into quick trip? Which is worse getting the car back after this or after stolen?

Anyone here own a BMW?
1991 Z3 and 2005 X3. Both a lot of fun to drive, but expensive and difficult to maintain. I did my own maintenance and minor repairs on my motorcycles and American cars. But you need special tools and knowledge for the Bimmers.* For example, while you don't absolutely have too, you need to reprogram the ECM after replacing the battery. Apparently the Bimmers allow for decreased performance of aging batteries. You need to tell the car it's got a new one.

*That's not a typo. Turn's out that "Beemers" are motorcycles. Cars are pronounced the same way, but spelled "Bimmer." An indie author I know got scathing reviews from Bimmer fans for making that mistake.
