SF Gate: Freak fire traps man inside Audi/Battery failure a p

[Larry C Leung]

I wonder if BMW is aware of some of the stupid lawsuits I've read about,
such as the man whom tried to rob a house with an automatic garage door
opener.

Plied all of his loot into the garage, shut the house/garage door (which
locked) and obviously was too dumb to find the emergency release.

Owner found the would be burgular (already called the cops due to the
strange van in the drive) in the garage surviving off of the cat food in
the garage and water from the washing machine.

Cops picked up the guy, who promptly turns around and sues the owner for
mental anguish.....and WINS!

Wonder if BMW will pay the damages lawsuit when some attempted burgular
gets locked into a BMW and suffers from mental anguish.
