certainly would be quicker and create less attention to just load it up on a flatbed and tear it down elsewhere..

They must've taken quite a long time to strip down all the parts; how the hell did they not get spotted?

I find it rather ingenius; who's going to question a car being worked on to such extremes at a dealership? Any passer by would think its an employee... as long an actual employee doesn't show/drive by/on company hours then I see this as being a thought out situation

I assume this is the "before" picture. Probably performed by Eastern European criminals (no surprise there), or at least destined for Eastern Europe.

You have to love all the open borders in the EU, right?

But it does raise the question: why don't they have security cameras at this dealership?
