I was thinking "That must be a world-wide first"!!

But on closer examination I bet they were just after the BMW 530d M Sport
and probably dumped the ugly trailer on the back of it on the side of the
road at the first opportunity.

Not a "World First" at all. Happened in UK 2007. Glider destroyed to get
Engine and Instruments. see:

OK, 2nd. But I bet this person in Belgium didn't even know what was in the trailer, or look in it.
