Tractor trailer stolen with Porsche race cars
Four race cars , support parts and gear along with the road rig stolen in Florida . Trailer has GPS tracking . They found the truck but not the trailer or cars . Thieves are the worst .

Same people who stole the green 911 a few years ago probably.

I would think it would be pretty hard to hide that trailer, unless you had a warehouse you could drive into. That or repaint it, although a race car transport is pretty distinctive looking. That sucks for both the business owner and the car owners.
It was said the trailer has GPS, but they can’t find it? https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62007130/tractor-trailer-filled-with-dollar15-million-in-porsche-race-cars-stolen/ Last edited by A930Rocket; 09-01-2024 at 03:10 AM.. |

I once saw a car trailer being repainted on a back road years ago, so a quick spray will make it dissappear...poof!

I'm guessing those cars are being stripped down in the middle of the big swamp right about now.

Which begs the question..How the heck would one fence race cars or parts? I wouldn't think they'd be all that marketable.

Trailer had a tracking device. The dirtbags must have known about the device - inside job?

That's a good question . Has the tracking device provided any info ? Or was it destroyed or deactivated ? I would think someone knows .

Did I miss it? Where exactly was the tractor trailer stolen from? It didn’t look like it was in an enclosed fenced in area.
If the GPS was turned off or destroyed, they had to nowhere it was, so inside job sounds Possible |

To even know there were cars inside the trailer would seem to indicate some insider info. The tracker? A $19.99 investment by the thieves would take care of that.
