It would be pretty hard to lock someone in a garage. I would presume that there would be at least one man door. The overhead door has a manual release cable.
BMW: I would check the reliabilty records of the BMW 3 series. ( I don't suspect that there will be much difference for a sedan as opposed to the wagon.) Parts/service can be expensive. If you could still get a Honda Accord wagon in N. America ... I think it would be the better buy.
Why in the world would you need a dog to tell you if there is foulbrood in the hive or not? It's not hard to see. The hives are closed up in the winter; nobody is checking them then anyway. - Seems like someone needs to get their facts straight.
Your statement is probably more true anyone would ever admit. I found myself fascinated by the comments written in the blog; How do you explain war? The opinions of the individuals who witnessed it... are true... but when you piece everything together all that you have is a very crude skeleton.
I'm going to suggest that this story is a hoax.
