It would be shipped out of Canada within hours or stripped down even sooner.

never leave your keys near or at the front door or anywhere thats easily accessible through an entry point...thats plain stupid...I keep mine in my room and I tell everybody in the family to do the same. Especially women cuz the purse is the 1st place thieves would look. They did a thing on the news about this and they went around to people's houses and opened the front door, took the keys and then took the car...they obviously notified the people on this after the fact...but yea, never keep your keys in an obvious place like front door area, purse, kitchen table etc.


bet that **** is gone now...just like my sister's bf's buddy's Modified Mustang...it got jacked from a strip club and Poof! its gone for good!

yep, they are quick to dismantle the cars and ship them out... after that, the car pretty much is non-existant

They stole my buddy's dad's SLK 230 Kompressor with AMG package right out of their mansion in Woodland Acres. They didn't have the owner's keys. Car was found 8 months later with a bunch of other highends that were getting shipped overseas.

Well they found his car like 8 months later with 20 or more high end cars, and they weren't chopped. It was a very large and organized operation from what the cops said.

Like other people have said, it probably gets shipped overseas.

They may keep them in a warehouse somewhere for a little bit, but then it's on to boats and bye bye car!

It most likely does but they get around it

Anybody remember of that Red Ferrari F50 stolen a few months ago from the dealership, the car was never found but it was for sure sent over seas
