Evo IX Stolen!

According to a news source in Hong Kong, three brand-new Evo IX were stolen from the local dealership's storage facility.

The location is usually highly secured, so keys were always left inside the vehicles with doors unlocked. Apparently they opened the front gate for loading, and suddenly three men came running straight towards the Evos, started the cars and simply drove away. The whole incident took less than one minute.

Sounds like professional car thieves to me....

You call that professional thieves. LMAO

When you can jimmy a car and hotwire it and not get caught, that is a professional thief .

I think they're professional because they seem to have planned and executed this crime very efficiently. Apparently these Evos had just been shipped there the day before. The thieves somehow knew the precise location of them inside the storage facility, knew the positions of security cameras (They have no tape record of their faces), and knew exactly when the gate opens. I doubt random pedastrians will know about these details.

There must be an accomplice working at the facility. Theres no way the thieves would have known when the gate would open, unless they stake out 24/7

My dealership leaves the keys in the cars too, i've even seen the keys left in the drivers side door. But they have cameras everywhere and a big steal fences/railings all aorund the place.
