Yes. Broke into the building and the lock box for all the keys. They stole 4 different vehicles at one time. This one being a 2016 GT3RS.

What do you do with a stolen car like that? Assume it got loaded up on a container ship to sell off in a foreign country?

First all the keys should be kept in a VAULT that's going to take quite some time to crack open. Second, a dealership carrying high value cars routinely should consider a system of bollards to block off road access for vehicles in the display and storage lots. They're relatively inexpensive. Third, consider live security guards....

It was an inside, and possibly outside, job.

Multiple theft-prevention systems were overcome including, least of all, access to the car keys.

Somehow, mysteriously, the local police didn't notice anything.

Look at all the other cars on the lot. This was a dealership selling regular, much lower priced cars. They are not set up to protect high value cars. None of the remaining cars are worth the hassle to break into a dealership.

Last year there was blue GT3 - stolen in Canada - that surfaced at a dealership in Dubai. In 2015 there was a stolen red Ferrari F430 Scuderia 16M spider, stolen in Europe, which also surfaced in Dubai..
