So how does insurance work in these circumstances? Will you lose your NCN (unless protected of course) as theres no one to claim against....

Protected no claims is a scam as it is generally only protected with the company you are with. Catch 22. They "naturally" put their price up the following year so you move, only to find the new company doesn't recognise your NCD

This is very true as i found out after the toerags stole my car. Does anyone know how they managed to steal steves car without the keys ?

Glad you got the car.
Personally, I would get rid too once repaired.

That's all well and good, but the should the circumstance force him into paying out for a new car that he otherwise wouldn't have considered?

This has got me worried now!

I'm sure it's possible on all cars, not just BMW! Gonna start looking for a steering lock and a camera for the drive.

Yes, unfortunately these devices are also available for VAG cars as well as BMW. 

They do require access to the CAN bus via the OBD connector, so one option is to disconnect the CAN bus from the connector and only reconnect for service or diagnostics.

You could also send 20000 Volts down some of the pins and destroy their hack tool

I know what you're saying.  Personally, I would not want to keep a car that had been stolen let alone damaged aswell.  Chances are it has been thrashed to hell aswell.
I would never feel the same about the car again.

This is all very strange,the type of crook who has the know how to pinch a modern car without the keys does not normally abandon it 1 mile away.very strange
