Default Glider stolen in Belgium

Discus in Denmark a couple of years ago sprang to mind, recovered later in
I think Poland. I think the BMW was the target here.

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.
