In Side Job

Wow that's a lot of cars! Has to be an inside job to be able to pull off such a big job.

>Wow that's a lot of cars!

Depends. That dealership does stock higher value used cars, so that could have been 12-15 depending.

Inside man for sure, or someone with intimate knowledge of their inv control

Now a days that must be about 7 cars.

My first thought was William Maceys character in Fargo .

12-15 is still a lot of cars to steal in a single morning.

It’s kind of impressive ngl

Ah, dealer plates! Guessing these weren't Olds Cutlass'

How many cars 😭😭 a few expensive ones or a BUNCH of used ones 😂💀

How is 12-15 cars not considered a big job to you?

If this was not an inside job it was a well planned out and knew wtf they were doing job.

Not necessarily. I worked for a dealership several years ago. Our dumbass lot boy left keys inside several vehicles over a holiday weekend. I only found out about it when a customer came in told me what car she wanted to test drive and said she already sat in it on Easter Sunday.

Possible insurance fraud could be a factor.

100%

More manageable but still tough to conceptualize as a routine inventory theft case

Can wait for gonekyo drift

why didnt she drive it?!

Dang. I feel bad for the dealer and all, but it definitely sounds like an inside job.

Especially this one. They do high-end used cars.

All used at that dealership, but high-end. They do a lot of sports cars, Rovers, Cadillac, etc.

It's actually not that hard if you get in the building and take a crowbar to the key box.

I asked her that myself and she just shrugged. It was a 50k car too, Not many people would've resisted that urge.

Thanks Lester!

Checked their website. One car is listed at over $100k, so this may have been fewer than 10 cars. Insurance probably covers them, but what could someone do with such high priced cars? Such cars can go on cargo ships, but Manchester is far away from the shipping docks.

Very obviously lol

Not that hard to lock the keys to your million dollar inventory in a secured safe at the end of the day either.

Oh man, imagine being on the hook for 3 brand new cars.

Dumbass lot boy or not, if someone told me that, I'd rather they not purchase from me at all if they're going to just get in my / my employer's property without permission. Though I understand it's a tough thing to say that when you work on commission.

Better than stealing someone’s car that’s for sure, that’s happening a lot lately and very brazenly at that

Welcome to CT

I bought a Forrester from them about 3 years ago

They were all cut up

I would resist ! If I saw keys in a car, i would assume its either sold and a customers car (aka: grand theft) or an employee is getting ready to drive or move it. Either way - driving off in a car without permission is not in the slightest but tempting. (Grand theft again). I guess I wouldn’t make a very good criminal though. God, i fucking hate thieves. More than just about any other crime.

In the 90s, I was looking at cars at a dealership in Manchester after hours with my dad and we found a set of keys on the ground. We put them in the service drop box.

They sell everything from low to high. But unlike most used dealerships, they have a lot of high-end.
