Default 2001 Vette Stolen

I just listened on the radio this morning on the way to work that an Red 01 was taken from a car lot just down the road from my house. I just stopped by last week to take a look at her. I believe sometime last night someone broke into the office and took all the keys for all the cars on the lot and drove off in this beauty. Why do have to work so hard for what we want and these people think it is okay to do this and think they can get away with it? I hope they catch this guy before he ruins it.

This was not a joy-ride theft. That car is probably in parts now or on a ship to a foreign land.

Drive it to Phoenix, we'll park it down around 18th Street and Southern, and we'll even leave the keys in it. I guarantee it will be gone in 30 seconds! I can't believe you want to get rid of that beautiful car, Glenn!

I bet the car dealership was happy. They just sold that car for FULL asking price to the insurance company.

Those such criminals should be punished to the fullest extent, for dishonoring an American icon.
