Looks like our friends at MAG have some insurance paperwork to file. From WBNS 10TV: Bentley, Land Rover, Each $100K, Stolen From Dublin Dealership | WBNS-10TV, Central Ohio News [/URL] DUBLIN, Ohio — Dublin police on Tuesday were investigating the theft of two vehicles, each valued at more than $100,000, from a dealership specializing in European and import cars. Midwestern Auto Group reported two automobiles were stolen from the dealership, located at 6335 Perimeter Loop, sometime overnight on Thursday. According to a police report, the dealership said the cars were taken sometime between 8 p.m. Thursday and 9:10 a.m. Friday. A black 2007 Bentley Continental, valued at $113,575, and a white 2011 Land Rover, valued at $113,950, were both reported stolen. The Bentley was parked in front of the building, according to police reports. The Land Rover was parked behind one of the buildings. Neither of the vehicles had the keys left in them, the police report said. No arrests were immediately made.
MAG has to have security cameras on their property, if not then I think they should have to pay for any car that disappears from their lot. Anybody got a tow truck and some free time some night this week?
As soon as I finish hauling manure for the garden I'll bring their Landie back. I told them it was going to be an extended test drive.
The Landie is in Hooterville. Might need to hang one of those wee pine trees from the rear-view mirror before returning it.
It sucks for whoever stole that Range Rover. I guess the thieves didn't realize Land Rovers depreciate so fast that by the time they finally roll it off the boat and arrive in Mexico, it will probably be worth about half as much and have to fix something on it.
Probably another victim of the recent rash of thieves scoping dealerships to see how they do/don't secure vehicle keys inside the dealership. A few minutes studying the employee & customer traffic and risks provides enough info on how to be stealthy about gaining keys & driving away in the vehicle of choice. Happened down South last year. Dealerships freaked out and finally started taking better measures for securing their keys.
Nope, MAG has all the keys locked up in a safe. I watched them pull keys before I test drove a GTI a couple years ago. Unless they figured out a way to crack the safe they didn't get the keys.
I had the local handyman install an Isuzu diesel out of an old Chevette in it. Runs like a top now. I may have to keep it. :crazy:
