Man steals $300K Ferrari from Highland Park driveway, leaves behind a Chevy SUV

[douglas9]

A Highland Park car thief ditched his beat-up SUV for a new Ferrari last week, police say.

Officers were called to a home in the 3500 block of Beverly Drive, near Auburndale Avenue, on Wednesday afternoon about a crime that occurred several days earlier.

According to the homeowner, a white 2018 Ferrari GTC4Lusso T had been left in the driveway at the side of the home, unlocked and with the keys inside, on Nov. 4. (The Italian supercar, which can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and tops out at 199 mph, retails for around $300,000.)

1. Interestingly enough, owner had been dreaming of Chevy SUV.

Would have been upset if a Ford was left.

2. Owner left doors open and keys in the car?

WTH? Insurance job because of buyer's remorse? Decided he didn't like the color?

3. I don't leave my 2002 Saturn Station Wagon, unlocked in my driveway!

And leaving keys and medication in the unlocked car!?!?! Not bloody likely! Something smells fishy about this whole set up.

4. $2,000 worth of pain medication??

WTF

5. Perhaps That's A Clue As To Where The Cash Came From

Highland Park is a pretty affluent area in Dallas, but a $300k car with so little regard. Yeah, houses carry a median value of more than $1.6 million, but still, a 300k car with the keys in it?
