I've asked them the same question. They told me that an RS4 with dutch licence plates in brussels was uncommon, and knowing those cars where often used for robbery's where criminals would just open fire to belgium / france police, they would take no risc when they stopped me.
There are plenty of stories to find on the net where criminals in a stolen RS would start shooting from the back of the car to police chasers... it's extremely dangerous. I have a car with blinded windows from the back, so for someone standing next to it you cant tell who's in the back or not.
In some cities, police mostly follows me for a minute or so, and then leave. They are usually checking licence plate(s) and if the vehicle is stolen or not, and when they pass it's simply looking at the driver.
The rumor about this RS6 is that eitherway the criminals coudnt get far without a key of the car (They stole it while engine was running / key in pocket owner) or it's simply stolen / set to fire for insurance reasons (scam). I can hardly believe the second part. There are plenty of buyers all over the world wanting that RS6 from complete carbon and 18 carat gold turbo's lol.
Edit: ofcourse, they get stolen because they are large (avant, up to 5 people including luggage) and because they are fast, esp criminals use them for robbery's to get away quick. Knowing dutch / belgium police usually drives a VW, it's just no match against an RS.
