Sad ending for a great ML350 BlueTec

Y'all-

My '11 ML was stolen this past weekend and used in a number of car/house theft jobs. It was "recovered" later that afternoon.

That totally sucks!

So sorry that happened to your truck

Do you mind me asking how they stole it?
Guess i thought the keys for these cars stopped a lot of that , but maybe i should be adding an aftermarket alarm...

Hope you can get a great replacment and that the insurance company is easy to deal with

It was a screwy deal. It had Keyless GO and I locked the car. Usually it's in garage, but was in driveway that night. The got the door open and alarm sounded but the driver hit the Start button. I had the back up keys in the console and the car started and shut down alarm. My bad for leaving the spare set in the car.

In 14 months of ownership the car has been in the driveway and not the garage less than 10 times. Cosmic interference.

Lining up a '12 BlueTec at present.
