I saw on the Channel 10 News tonight the son of the owner said they intend to restore the car again.

Seems odd..yea i know scum in general are not over endowed with brain cells but seems a tad risky just to set fire to a car,that or the thieves have more cheek than a fat mans ****,either way i agree on the "burn them" thing.

Whoever stole it must have known it was there.
Time to start a private investigation and hopefully catch the diseased vagrants. |

He'll be out before the car gets restored.
Lets hope his cell-mate was kicked-out and banned from the Hells Angels for being too violent and he's old-school Italian with a passion for classic cars. |

not a lot of forensic evidence left if it is burnt. No skin or hair to get dna samples.

Hmmm, so let me get this right;
A rare $2.5 million Daytona, is in the shop for minor repairs, then that very night someone acting on a spur of the moment decision rams through the garage doors, steals it and then burns it rendering it unrepairable... I guess the keys were in the ignition too. The Insurance Company will be all over this. |

I think the car possibly became too hot to keep and they tried to destroy it and all evidence of the thieves. The other lesser car is yet to be found. |

It makes no sense to burn it. I realise they want to get rid of any forensics, but all they have to say was they got a lift in it, but don't burn it.
Cars like this can never be replaced, a Commodore or Falcon can, but not this.

Two things I don't understand?
1. Why burn it? When they learned that it had no resale due to being so rare, why not just leave it to be found. 2. Why were two Ferarri's so easy to take? Strange that they were in and out in 4 mins, not quick at all. They had time to check other cars too!

Very common...destroys evidence. Why steal it? For bragging rights among their car thief mates. Surprised they got it so easily? You...do realise how recently in car history stuff like electronic immobilizers and even proper ignition/steering locks are? When that car was built it would have had...by todays standards...very rudimentary "security" measures. Any alarms or immobilisers fitted would be familiar modern devices that any car thief worth his salt would know how to work around. In fact with an old car it's probably very easy to bypass any modern security devices fitted and start the engine with a few crossed wires. |

If that car was worth $2.5 Mil then it should have been treated much the same as a box of cash.
If they were in and out in 4 min then that $2.5 mil worth of car was no where near secure enough.

It may be insured for $2.5 million but current pricing suggest $2.5 million would be on the high side.

When I heard about the theft of this Ferrari on the radio I was sure it was going to be in a shipping container and off overseas somewhere.

I would believe that this was worth a lot of money, the $400,000 estimate is too low for the Daytona. I've seen a Daytona repaired at a cost of US$950,000, and they don't spend that sort of money if it doesn't make them more valuable. What an absolute waste. Hope they string these guys up by the nutsack and let em swing.
