There's one mustang parts car going to the auctions. Wonder if it's the EcoBoost or GT?

Imagine their disappointment when they realized they'd stolen an ecoboost Mustang. How embarrassing.

It will repair, it was a registered demo. Plenty of them have already been bent!

G'day...This is very ironically funny..I read somewhere a few days ago about a fancy stolen HSV Commodore..I wondered at the time whether the owner was upset because it had been stolen or upset that someone might find it and return it.!!!!
Did someone at Frankston Ford want to make it look like they'd sold a few off the floor and left the keys out or something..Cheers Rod

Suspect inside job, dealerships usually lock their keys in a key box, thief would have known where the keys were and the codes to be able to steal so many of them so easily or they were left out on purpose...

One by one the unfound ones will be used in robberies, home invasions etc etc with stolen plates on them.

Key box was pried open with a crowbar. But definitely would suspect a current or ex employee

On my test drive I took the ecoboost mustang back quick smart. Disappointed in it.

Maybe the thief thought to bring it back also?

Here is the Video - the smashed Key Box with the finger print residue on it and on the walls should be in the video as it was when I watched it on tv
