With most crimes going unpunished recently, maybe he thought it was worth a try.

Go big or go home. Nice move. Grand theft auto is the same for a 10K car as it is for 1.7 MM.

My thoughts exactly. I saw one of these at Sunset last week. First one I've seen in the flesh. A few years in the pokey might be a fair trade for a few hours of 918 zoomin.....

I don't understand how you go into a dealership, get to the key safe, pick a key, then find a way to have the car pointed right direction where the glass doors are open, start a 918 (electric mode?) and drive out without anyone noticing. He had one of those "everybody freezes" guns didn't he?

^^^ This. Although when a theft alarm at a retailer goes off it's not like all the employees jump into action. Maybe the stealership employees were afflicted with the same indifference attitude.

Anybody else think of this?

Exactly! Hahaha.... "let me just get my tool"

Smart enough to actually drive the car out.

Dumb enough to pick something you'll never get away with.

Definitely go big or go home.

neurotic

probably a pi$$ed off non-VIP customer who couldn't a GT4, GT3RS, or 911R......

Well, I'm not nearly as impressed with his brazen-ness as I was when I thought the store was open.
