A $160,000 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 was among the vehicles stolen from Alabama dealership.
Eight cars, including a rare 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon SRT 170 valued at $158,000, were stolen from the North County Ford dealership in Arab, Alabama, and investigators are still trying to piece the whole thing together.—have since been recovered. The Wagoneer was found near Blountsville and the Bronco Raptor was found at an apartment complex in Bessemer.While they aren’t Fort Knox, generally speaking car dealerships have very robust security measures in place.
The dealership said the thieves plugged a laptop into the key safe and managed to hack it open like a scene out of a '90s heist film. They stole 330 keys from the safe and put them all in a bag. Since many modern cars use keyless entry and have push button start, the thieves simply jumped into different cars with the key bag in hand, started each of the eight cars, and drove them off the lot.
The only physical evidence left behind was broken glass from the window found by the cleaning crew in the later morning hours. North County Dodge is now going through the tedious task of reprogramming replacements for all the keys that were stolen but have taken to Facebook to appeal to the thieves for their return. Offering a $10,000 reward for the return of the keys “no questions asked.”has taught us anything, it’s that the police should be checking shipping docks or a wrecking yard and looking for a well-dressed crime lord with an unplaceable accent.
Jokes aside, anyone with information that could help law enforcement find the thieves or the missing vehicles is being asked to contact Arab police at 586-8124.
