Guys just a heads up.
Was speaking with a friend today who has told me that there has been a sharp increase in the number of vehicle thefts without keys in the greater Belfast area this past few weeks.
It appears someone has got these guys the ODB port kit and perhaps even a code grabber. Not just limited to BMW either, there have been a few Audi's taken amongst others.
So maybe tell friends and family to use visual deterrents such as a Disc-lock or heavy chain in addition to the clearly useless factory security.
There is a fix for BMW I think but I have no idea about any others.

Is it still just the E series BMW's that can be lifted or can the F cars be lifted too?

Guy was identified already.
They are up to mischief. Very strange. Mate has/had a silver 2012 Audi A5 coupe 3.0 Quattro sport literally lifted last night. I doubt it's new enough for someone to go to this effort as it wasn't taken with keys. Car was parked in the parking space in the first pic.
Shocking. Seems to been dragged out up onto the path and dragged along the path possibly on a few jacks and down off the kerb again. And then onto the loader.... don't know why they didn't just drag it out of its original parking bay though. Surely a 5 year old audi in silver wouldn be stole to order as such, my guess is it be stripped or someone needed a silver one to repair a badly damaged silver one? Certainly whatever method it was not quiet yet done overnight

They are extremely game. That had to be a hour and at least 4 man job, jacks/dolleys and probably some sorta weapons in case it got messy
For a 5 year old tdi audi?

A tdi Audi? 94.2% of Ni could be suspects.
I know that, lol. I'm just implying it's not as if it's one of the S/RS range
Wouldn't of thought it'd taken a hour to shift that. A set of decent quality go jacks and you can move any car quickly enough. I have a set for moving 4wd stuff round workshops as they're a pig to push. It was obviously done by someone that knew what they were doing. Such a shame and I'm sure your friend is well cross about it!
