Any follow up? Or did they just ride off into the sunset with 6 bright ass cars?


sevenplaces

News article from a year ago says the cops found them joy riding. High speed chase and caught one driver. They found four other cars in subsequent weeks around the southern US.


MindDiveRetriever

Imagine if Nicholas Cage just decided to joy ride Elanor….. 👀👀


ClassicT4

Yeah, but he had to protect his family.


trenta_nueve

they couldve search for a buyer from the middle east and put those in ISO containers


Interesting-Owl-5458

Could’ve taken the engines out and scrapped the rest of the POS

chimmrichald

Unless spotted by police on their way to the drop off there’s a very low chance these vehicles have been found and the thieves were caught. Vehicle choppers and crime rings shipping them internationally have been nearly untouchable for decades and there is no sign of things improving. Investigators just move on and let it be handled by insurance.


TangerineDream82

Won't they have tracking devices on them?


chimmrichald

Those systems are likely not even set up for floor models. They can easily be reset by simply disconnecting the battery. Most of these tracking systems need to be registered with the manufacturer to actually operate.


ShreddedDadBod

I mean dealerships should just throw AirTags in the trunk


BannedCuzCovid

Dosent matter police are not gonna go after this unless they see them on the road. It's a low priority crime. No one injured and as others have said insurance.


SlashEssImplied

I had a cop tell me that when my car was stolen, basically said they're not going to do anything. Then they asked if I wanted to make a report and I said I don't have that kind of insurance. They told me I should still fill out a report as the crime numbers are how they get more funding.


Kegger315

They found 5/6 as of latest update....


chimmrichald

Im honestly shocked to hear that even one was found. I worked at a Toyota/Lexus plant and we had about 14 vehicles be driven right out the gate and lost forever in a 4mo span. And an additional 6 be stolen over the course of the next year. None of which were ever found or tracked. Granted these were 10000% and inside job because the thieves knew to only take the vehicles from the Guadalajara shipment section which have their GPS systems intentionally disabled. People can do some crazy things by just wearing a hi-vis vest.


mikiesno

they will ship them over sea and sell it there.


Cubacane

What ship are they boarding close to Kentucky?


EquivalentOwn1115

You can drive them into a conex, set it on a trailer, haul to a port of your choice, on a ship, away it goes


el_dadarino

Who do I need to ask at the docks?

Jimmy the Greek, to be exact


Culture_of_North

You ever hear about loading up cars in a container?


WangCommander

Idk, but probably a port in Louisville or something. You can have shipping done on rivers and trains too, not just ocean freight.

Anything is faster than a drive thru order these days. Chic-fil-a, the longest wait, but granted pretty good sheet!

my local chic is fast as hell, even with long lines

Fast af lol


MindlessYesterday668

Ours here is Wendy's. It gets faster when people in front of you gets tired of waiting.

That’s funny because it’s true.

Tell_Amazing

Your chic fil a sounds ghetto. Usually in and out in no time


CosmicCreeperz

Ghetto? Problem with the one near me is the line goes out the parking lot and into the street. For a fucking mediocre chicken sandwich…


Rackhaad

I've only eaten there a couple times because the drive-thru line is always so long, I start thinking it might be a cult...


emessea

I like going to chic fil a, seeing the cars, go inside place and receive my order, then go to my car seeing the same cars still there.

The only drive through I’ve been in to get my order and still have to wait in line for the person in front of me to get there order. Terrible system.


bigbysemotivefinger

The long wait is so you have time to rethink your life before the bigotry sets in.


Vibriobactin

Chic-fil-a is well known to have the longest wait time in the industry. https://www.thestreet.com/retail/drive-thrus-at-these-fast-food-outlets-make-you-wait-the-longest#:~:text=Chick%2Dfil%2DA%20has%20the,of%20closely%20held%20CKE%20Restaurants. https://youtu.be/LlV5L_r1WvM?si=C8kLElBXLSSUpFXm FTA: 312.3 seconds Chick-fil-A has the longest total drive-thru wait times, with an average wait of 312.3 seconds.

Mc Donald's near me if great. Even a long line you're through in 5 min


Existence_No_You

ValHallen11698

Ive never been to a chick fil a


Stuff-Optimal

Definitely an inside job


Axolotis

As the video shows, no doubt. Those cars were inside.


theblitheringidiot

Tiles really gave it away.


LostInDinosaurWorld

But what if they pulled an Ocean's 11 and recreated the dealership somewhere else and this is just a recording? 🤔


ARCADEO

They actually stole the cars at a separate time. It’s just that no one noticed


MindlessFail

I still feel pretty strongly this was inside


Openborders4all

Dang it!


TakeMyBBCnow

Although the angle of the camera might confuse perspective so we shouldn't rule this out as an outside job


nonferrousoul

Floor models at that.


weechus

Some of it appears to be outside though.


DigNitty

Absolutely. Probably not someone who works there currently though. As far as what I’ve read every time this happens.


Nippon-Gakki

Could be a former employee or one of the many outside vendors who come to the dealer every day to do whatever (paintless dent, wheel repair, tint, bumper touch up, interior repair, glass repair, etc.). If they know where key box is and if it’s easily opened (or always broken like half of them are) they can tell their people. Some dealers are also shit with security. One Porsche dealer I worked at had all of the keys in a wooden box with a Home Depot grade padlock screwed into it for “security”. The door right next to the box was broken and could be opened with a hard pull. The location was basically a ghost town at night so you likely could have emptied the entire front and back lot with no one having a clue until morning.


Beautiful-Cock-7008

Technically they don't need the keys, you can get what's basically a master key for modern vehicles that's only supposed to be sold to licensed technicians, but ofc they don't always stay in the hands of licensed technicians

MrWeen2121

OhJarnathan

Not really. Anyone thats worked in a dealership at all knows they keep all the keys in one spot. Drive to a different city, see if they keep the cabinet locked. If its not a big city with a bunch of crime they probably don't even lock it. Even if they do its never a good one (unless you live in a big city with a shit load of crime, they might have a fancy one.)  Know the stock numbers of the cars you wanna steal beforehand (its on their website) so you don't have to look too hard for the keys in the cabinet, bring a pry bar if the cabinet has a dumb little lock on it, have a truck to smash one of the showroom doors out with 4 doors to carry your fellow theif friends to the location, you're gold. Even if they just took em somewhere and stole the wheels they made a few grand easy. But id wager they know someone who's paying them for the cars. The fake plates means they got a drive to make. They'll strip em, take the shells somewhere and burn them, and then sell the parts at a much later date, or just a different part of the country altogether. These guys are good at this shit. 


Moparfansrt8

I had my truck stolen back in the 90's in Miami. What a lot of them do is strip the car and leave it out on the street in the city. The car gets recovered and insurance gets paid out. Then the insurance company auctions off the carcass of the car. The car theives show up at the auction, buy the carcass with a salvage title. Then they bring it home and use the parts they stole to put the car back together. Presto! Now you have a new hellcat and a title!


SomeCrazedBiker

That is so devious.


Moparfansrt8

Yeah it's almost as if they could go get a job at a garage or dealership, right?


SomeCrazedBiker

Work?! You're joking, right?


Ill-Arugula4829

This is thinking outside the box. Real professional criminals that don't ever have their mug shit on the news are so intriguing. It's like a weird mix of giant balls, meticulous planning, and top of the percentiles intelligence. I will probably die while still working hard at my ass job, like literally while at work, and that's ok because I'm not in this mixture, but I can respect it. And for everyone who is about to say, 'Their just criminals, lock em up.' Or, 'Maybe they should just get a job.' I understand that viewpoint, and maybe you're right. That's what I did. But I'll end with a few words: Insurance companies. Politicians. No-bid contracts. Injury claim lawyers. I could go on. How do we feel about these groups? Just saying.


Tuff_Luck2020

Ok you have convinced me that I should start this new hustle. I really did need a career change. Funny I happen to live in Kentucky also


Psychosis99

This sounds like the plot from H.B. Halicki's Gone in 60 Seconds movie from 1974. The first 15 minutes shows them doing this exact same thing to a Dodge Challenger. The movie is worth watching if you have never seen it before. The chase scene is 40 minutes long. Don't bother with Nicholas Cage's remake from 2000. That movie just sucks. Stick with the original.


Complete_Minimum4097

Big market for Hellcats in the Middle East. They’re probably in shipping containers on the way to Saudi Arabia.


OhJarnathan

Another plausible scenario. Either way, these dudes are the grunts, and there's a buyer with bigger plans for em most likely. 


SuperSolidPoops

not this isn't that hard to accomplish. I could do this myself with just one car but. I have no clue what I'd do after and I would most likely get caught. I use my expertise for bad guys.


StagnantSweater21

How you gonna get in the building past the alarm HUH HUH


tacotacotacorock

Sometimes you have about 60 seconds give or take to disable the alarm. Then it goes off. Then they either call and or send the police. So if they truly did steal it in 45 seconds or less. Plenty of time before the alarm company even gets notified. 


Dime5

Used to install alarms, the fastest response time I’ve seen is around 3-5 minutes after the alarm activates. Most places have 30-60 second delays if you enter an entry door. Pretty realistic to have 5 minutes without disabling anything. Most cities were 30-120 minutes though. Especially if you don’t have confirmation of a break in. There are tons of false alarms, so the police response varies based on how seriously they consider the alarm.


StagnantSweater21

Fuck


surfer_ryan

It's really all security theater I'm not saying it for sure wasn't I just don't think it's that open and shut of a case. Doesn't take a mastermind to do this even this quickly. Source I've worked in the car industry for about 10 years now more towards the tech side of things.


crystal_castle00

Dude it was obviously Nicholas cage. He’s been hard at work on this sequel “Gone in 45 seconds”. It doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, but that’s the price we pay for efficiency.

DigNitty

It’s because they’re all stolen.


battleship61

A dude smoking a cigarette in a dodge caravan angrily pulled out from behind me and passed me while giving me the finger today. He didn't like that I was going the posted speed limit in a residential area, and he promptly beat me to a red light that I sat behind him at for about a minute. Bravo, Mr. Dodge on a marvellous demonstration of alpha male power in a stereotypical soccer mom vehicle.


GarysCrispLettuce

I was deliberately rear ended on a bicycle at 40mph by an unreasonable Dodge Charger driver with a mullet some years ago. I went flying over the hood and my bike ended up wedged under the front of his car.


James-the-Bond-one

Did he pass you on the right because you were clogging up the left lane in passive-aggression, by any chance?


battleship61

Single lane road approaching a red light at a trisection I live at and he passed on a solid yellow line into oncoming traffic. I know those lights, and they're extra long because of an additional lane of traffic. The dude was in a hurry to get nowhere, and I fully let him.

Also very likely. Having worked in that space this tends to be my go-to opinion though.

whiskyguitar

For those asking questions: A badly written article but it appears to outline what happened - https://www.motor1.com/news/656274/watch-six-dodge-challenger-hellcats-stolen-from-dealer/amp/ - the keys were in the vehicles' ignition - the dealer believes that someone with inside information might be involved - as of March 1, the police recovered five of the six Hellcats. One ran out of gas and was by the side of the road. Authorities found two others in Kentucky. A car was in Tennessee, and another was in Alabama. The cops believed the missing car was also in Alabama

A lot of places have a car [key safe that works a lot like a cash register.](https://www.southwestsolutions.com/divisions/automotive/automotive-office-solutions/fleet-key-management/) Think of it as a locked drawer that just needs a password to open. A lot of places are lazy and use 1 password. Or, maybe they genuinely stole a password.


PizzaWhole9323

When I was a CNA in hospitals they had a massive theft problem. What had happened was they would get new trays that could be locked with drugs and syringes and the like. They generally never changed it from the default code, and by then you could look up on the internet and find out what that was. Crazy times.

shadowmaker000

I used to work at a dealer in Ohio and once a salesman and his friend managed to steal 3 cars all the way into Mexico before management took inventory to notice them missing. The cars were still traced though so surely these guys aren’t getting away with it unless they scrap parts. If an insider was involved the machine holding the keys will show who checked them out, plus cameras everywhere.


Marine4lyfe

Getting in was the hard part. They key fobs were obviously out where they could get them. Probably someone on the inside disarmed the alarms.

AdMore3461

Dodge (and other makers) know they have fatal flaws allowing for theft yet they don’t really care to fix it. Aftermarket software is out there and available that allows people to reprogram a new key simply by accessing the OBD2 port. There are other ways as well, but dodge hellcats are really that simple. It’s not even hard to find the software.
