"I heard that!!"

With Hurricane Ian devastating much of Florida, street stock racer Jeff Stalnaker locked his two race cars in a trailer to keep them safe from the storm. While the hurricane ended up sparing Stalnaker's hometown of Ocala, Florida, he ended up suffering costly damages anyway. A thief backed his truck up to Stalnaker's gooseneck trailer, hitched it up, and drove it away, unaware of its contents. Apparently, the thief was disappointed with his race car look, so he ended up burying the two cars in an abandoned sand pit. Thankfully, due to the impressive detective work done by Stalnaker, his family, and his friends, he found his stolen goods. Unfortunately, very little is salvageable.
The thief is allegedly Alex Sloane Herring and they are currently in police custody. Trailer theft such as this isn't entirely uncommon, as thieves hope to score valuable goodies hiding inside. It's like that Storage Wars show, only illegal. However, finding two race cars isn't exactly ideal for a thief, even if they are quite valuable. The market for stolen race car parts isn't exactly huge and Herring would have had to dismantle the cars first to sell parts anyway. So Herring may have felt the need to cut his losses and get rid of the evidence. To do so, perhaps he went to his employer's job site in the middle of the night, borrowed an excavator, dug a big hole, and buried the two cars.
But whoever stole the cars didn't stop there. They also buried all of the tools, parts, and other racing equipment inside the trailer. Stalnaker estimates the total loss of all the goods—cars, parts, and tools—at about $200,000. Unfortunately, very little of Stalnaker's stolen property is salvageable.

‘Florida man’ up to no good again.
For the owner’s sake, I hope that he doesn’t have his cars insured with Progressive.
If he’s got coverage on the race cars, it’s most likely through a specialty insurer like Heacock or Hagerty. I don’t think the mainstream ones are in that biz.
Somebody in CA has him beat. They buried a Dino.
What's this sh**? Who is in police custody? The cars?
Make sure not to bury Chuck Norris in there with the car.

>>The thief is allegedly Alex Sloane Herring and they are currently in police custody.
Are Alex and Sloane two heads of a Siamese twin?
Or are Alex and Sloane first and middle names, respectively, and the writer meant “he is currently in police custody”?
I saw that too. This time, it may just be someone changing the form of the message, not an effort to be PC for Trans.
I see ‘he’ was used earlier.
See my previous.
In the fwiw department, TX man did it too.
A few times.

These idiots that write these stories are booger eating idiots.
These idiots that write these stories are woke booger eating idiots.
FTFY
This idiot was almost certainly not wanting to assume anyone’s gender, and so used they instead of he or her. That’s the world we’re living in. SMDH
