F8 Likely Stolen F8 Spotted - Ontario, Canada

What sometimes happens is that these thieves will find a VIN of a non stolen car (a non-stolen F8 from some other state) and attach it to the stolen car. They register the stolen car in the new state and then get a license plate. All unbeknownst to the actual owner of the original VIN numbered car in the other state. They sell the stolen car and when the owner goes to get the owner doesn’t know the wiser. There does not exist a national database for vehicles registered in the US because each state is responsible for its own vehicle registration.
Be aware. Check the engine block for the actual vin and other parts of the car where the vin would be attached.

 

Anyone dumb enough to show up with $30K hoping to buy this will be lucky to leave alive.

 

Most ridiculous ad I’ve ever seen. The poster should be put in prison just for his stupidity and writing, never mind for the GTA.

Hello,

Do you know where the auto body shop is? i have been talking to the same person, and i have enough evidence that it is stolen but the police wont do anything. if i knew where it would be i could get more information and hopefully get this Ferrari back on the road to it's rightful owner.

Thanks

 

Hey - if an F8 isn’t your style, the ad says “let us know” as they can evidently fulfill (steal) special orders.

I did a few minutes of digging. It's a burner account by the looks of things, so there is at least a little intelligence there. However pulling off a heist on a car of that caliber and doing such a ****ty ad seems strange. Perhaps the car isn't stolen and the pictures were just taken by the poster in an attempt to scam people.

So many non title for sale ads on facebook market place, it is the new scam.
Owner reports it stolen, gets the insurance money, Gives it to a third party to sell. Most of these cars go over seas.

 

Cars listed for sale in Alberta now did any one ever find out what haponed with it ?

 

I'm the new owner. It was legit.

 

Car was just on BAT.
You are the owner?

 

Anyone have good recommendations for professional car storage in Toronto Ontario ? Just don't want the worry of storing at home now with all these thefts.

 

Does it have to be in Toronto specifically or are you open to secure facilities outside the city ? Burlington , Richmond hill etc

 

If there isn't a national database for stolen Ferraris, perhaps there needs to be?
I cannot imagine that list would be very long... so managing the list would not be that hard.?

Why not start one here on FC?

 

They are stealing Jeeps around me especially 392's. I took all my good stuff out of my Jeep 392 in case it's stolen. We use the Jeep as the everyday to go out eating and shopping vehicle and I always look at it like this is the last time.

I've only had it a year but thinking of selling it or trading it for a more normal SUV an am interested in the new Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus GX or a Chevy Tahoe. I've never had a Japanese car/suv because I've never fit right.

 

I prefer richmond hill actually
