Brazen teens use SUV as ‘battering ram’ to steal nearly $600K in luxury vehicles before leading police on chase
Nypost ^ | 02/25/2024 | Olivia Land

Startling surveillance footage captured the moment a band of teens from the Chicago area broke into a Wisconsin Jaguar/Land Rover dealership and sped off with more than half a million dollars worth of high-end vehicles – later leading police on a dramatic 40-mile chase.

In a coordinated heist, several black-clad individuals pulled up to the Waukesha dealership in the early hours of Feb. 18, pried open the key box and got into nine cars, the footage shared by FOX6 News showed.

One of the thieves got into a Land Rover Velar and used the car “as a battering ram” to smash through the garage door, the outlet added, citing the criminal complaint.

There was a time when ‘good security’ meant the Atlantic Ocean.

Works for me. He’s an apologist for blacks. They commit crimes because of poverty, which he lays off on systemic racism.

“A FB frenemy said this was because thr dealership had “poor security.”

A friend was a marine dealer. Had a storage lot for new and traded-in boats. Tall chain link, with barb wire strands on top, lights and cameras. Had an RV in there he had taken as a trade. He’d been saying, “They are coming at night and they use brooms to set off the lights to learn how to avoid them. They are going to get me at some point.”

They climbed in, stole all the stereos out of the boats, put them in the RV, drove the RV through the locked gate, later parked it, burned meth in it and left it at a park. He had asked the security people about dogs, they said, “No, they’ll poison them.” This was 15 years ago, not new. Front Range Colorado.

They’re not brazen. They’re just doing what any sensible self respecting their would do when positively encouraged by authorities to do it.

You’re wrong on two counts. First, it’s much more than 40%. Second, nobody is wondering.

Dogs....

At one time a jewelry store had window display with a live tarantula.

Same source mentions dogs but also snakes.

Until they show these stolen cars obliterated by 20MM canon fire, don’t bother showing them. All the same: captured, cars wrecked, arrested, turned loose to steal another day.

A new, radical idea: Enforce the laws equally, not just against conservative political leaders. Put criminals in prison.

Ok, ok, I was just rambling.

Photo of suspect....

Chains
by the Cookies, #17 in 1962, Later covered by the Beatles.

Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains
And they ain’t the kind that you can see.

Chains, well, I can’t break away from these chains
I can’t run around ‘cause I’m not free.

The keys/fobs to the cars were kept where a ‘teen’ was able to find them. In a previous post I asked if the dealership had $600,000 of cash on hand would it be in a place where it could be ‘found’?

I was told that this is/was S.O.P. at dealerships so that salesmen can easily access the car. How difficult/expensive would it be to lock the keys/fobs up in something that a ‘teen’ can’t easily open when the dealership is closed?

Not blaming the victim here. Also note to ‘teens’: If you’re going to steal a car, be sure you can drive it.

Judge to defendant:
You know how embarrassing this is for me to see you before my bench for the third time this year? My wife’s sister’s only son. Our nephew. I’m letting you go again with charges dismissed but the next time you are in for it, young man. If you want a new car dial up that Carvana place.

Even before identification or arrests, the media will use the term ‘teens’. Apparently, you can guess the ages of black criminals just by video or photos alone. It’s uncanny.

Nothing to see here.

It’s just Sons Of Barack.

The dealership acted stupidly by leaving their garage door closed.....

After locks, the bark and speed of mean dogs is a good secondary security system.
