Bill, I think the easiest way to see if you have a theft forum is search eBay or your local Craig's List. If I do that in SE England, I can see plenty of listings for units that appear to be in perfect working order yet supplied without any box or other documentation. I don't think it's a coincidence and I also don't think there's that many bikes being crashed and legitimately broken for parts.
The root of this problem is obviously the criminal, closely followed by BMW's design. And in this day age, a TFT dashboard should be coded to the VIN in the factory and it simply shouldn't be possible to use it on another bike without asking BMW for an unlock code.
