Stealing a US$100,000 car with little more than a laptop sounds like the stuff of which long-running urban legends are made. Unfortunately, it’s true.
David Beckham, the English football star now swinging his ponytail for Real Madrid, found this out the hard way when his armored BMW X5 was stolen by Spanish thieves (strangely enough, it wasn’t even the first time). The thieves apparently used a laptop to pop the locks and start the vehicle’s engine, then drove away while Beckham was at lunch.
