I was in high school the next town over at the time Guy Fieri has his car stolen, my friend went to the same high school as him. The kid was notorious at the time. I remember the story a bit differently I heard he ziplined accross from another building and broke into his personal garage from a skylight, but you know how high school rumors are

Another fun episode~ cheers guys Here’s a short story about a failed car heist in my hometown: There’s a car club here, and mostly you see simple non expensive cars with very few mods, but it’s still cool. But there was this car person that had a 2016 white charger, and it may sound like nothing to others but where I live was a big deal, anyhow, this person had other stuff in their garage, specifically a 77 trans am firebird, and one of the guys at the meeting attempted to steal it, but backed out because when he broke into their garage, he saw they owned a black Matte truck with tinted windows, and the thing was bulletproof, it had like armor plating and things like that, so this guy backs out. And I don’t know how, but he got arrested anyways for breaking in, either he told someone and they went to the authorities or somehow the owner found out it was him. It was dumb and I’m glad it didn’t happen. The thing here is the truck, because I’ve seen it just once, it was 4am and I was driving around with a friend and we saw it parked at a gas station, and it left us wondering what kind of shady thing was going on behind the scenes, mostly because it was extremely rare for someone our age, especially from where we are from to own such vehicles, people speculate it’s drug trafficking or something, but we'll never know probably.

True story...im helping my buddy Marcos swap his new M50-Stroker into his E34 at a friend's wrap shop (after hours). The shop was located in Deerfield Beach FL, and about 2:30am-3ish Marcos asked me to go to the lot where our cars were parked and get the feeler gauge. His daily at the time was a 1985 Golf Diesel MK2 that was more a rolling roach coach & rust mobile rather then a working car....the interior was ALWAYS a mess in thar car (literally it was so bad only the driver could sit in ..and u didn't want to be the driver). After 2mins of searching in the car I find the gauge way too fast....something seemed off. Somebody apparently tried both my door and his, Marcos MK2 being the only 1 open he started rooting around and bagging the trash in bags that were in the MK2....until (I can only assume) the theif thought "why TF am I cleaning some random dudes shitbox!?! There ain't shit in here!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Somebody kinda cleaned his MK2 and organized it 😂🤣😂🤣😂

The lotus carlton story was just a single example of what was actually a 3-4 Year national epidemic over here.. ram raids were born out of the early 90s joyriding craze and happened every other night in British cities.. the most commonly used car was the Sierra cosworth and the targets usually electrical, jewellery or clothing stores..

Ramraiders didn't just steal booze and cigs, they would take cash but remember anything they stole had to fit in the car! What's easiest to sell on for a few bucks.....booze and cigs. You couldn't steal tv's back then even if you had a van you would only fit like 5 in remember big tv's back in the day it took 2 guys to lift some of them lmao. Plus mostly it was about joyriding you had to torch the car at some point so may aswell get some booze before you do. Cars were stolen all the time in the 80s and 90s Ford's from back then had a safety feature that unlocked the doors after an accident. It didn't know the difference between running and being parked though so if you kicked the front bumper hard enough the car would open then they just had to hotwire it and bingo you had cosworth the cops couldn't get near
