A Florida man recently made headlines for stealing a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in a seemingly simple yet sophisticated manner. Instead of carrying out an elaborate heist, the thief reportedly hacked into the driver’s portal for Dealers Choice Auto Transport Service to change the delivery address.
According to an employee named Steven Yariv, the criminal was able to access information about the vehicles being transported and provided the driver with the new delivery location. Despite the driver taking photos of the cars during delivery and capturing an image of the alleged thief, his identity remains unknown.
The audacious thief even had the nerve to taunt the delivery company by sending messages like “You stole from the wrong guy” and “Thanks for the free Maybach dawg.” He further bragged about the cars being in Dubai or Europe and removed the GPS tracker to evade detection.
In a bizarre turn of events, the thief also tried to divert attention by claiming that a Rolls-Royce Cullinan was headed to a specific address in Miami, which turned out to be a random parking lot. Despite the ongoing police investigation, the chances of recovering the stolen cars, especially if they are already out of the country, seem slim.
Employees Yariv and Waisman have offered a reward of $20,000 each for the safe return of their vehicles. The brazen nature of this car theft case has left many shocked and intrigued. If you have any information that could aid in solving this crime, do not hesitate to reach out to the authorities.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safeguarding sensitive information and being vigilant against cyber threats. As technology advances, criminals find new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and commit sophisticated crimes. It also highlights the need for enhanced security measures in the transportation and delivery industry to prevent such incidents in the future.
