RX400h stolen... unbelievable
On Monday, I dropped off my 2007 Lexus RX400h (2,000-ish miles) for a body damage repair at a very reputable specialist (PRO contract with insurance). I spoke with them Thursday morning to check that all was on schedule for Friday PM pickup, and I was assured that all was fine.
Two hours later, I received a call from my rep, in full panic mode... my car is missing off their lot. The police were on the way, they had contacted their insurance, yada-yada.
These goofballs store the inactive vehicles in the fenced outdoor lot, keys inside and unlocked, with the gate open, no security cameras or personnel, totally relying on the eyes of the various in and out movements of their employees as "security".
Amazing negligence.
So if you Chicago/midwesterners see a flint mica/black interior on 18's, with bondo on the left rear quarter and an unpainted rear bumper...
Well, fat chance, anyway... probably chopped to pieces or loaded onto a truck for Mexico within an hour of theft in all probability.
Their insurance is gonna get me brand new, or there will be blood.
