Stolen Maranello in Denver Post Article

Interesting read in today's Denver Post about car theft in CO. They mention a fellow who stole his own 550:

"The auto-theft task forces have busted up several theft rings. An investigation by the Eastern Metro Auto Theft Team resulted in a 24-count indictment against six people, including purported ringleader Mikel Mewbourn.

Mewbourn is accused of multiple car thefts, including a scheme in which he allegedly claimed his $115,000 Ferrari 550 Maranello was stolen from a valet parking garage while he dined inside a downtown Denver Hyatt. Surveillance tape showed the silver sports car leaving the garage while Mewbourn ate his dinner.

He collected about $39,000 — his equity in the Ferrari — from his insurance company, then allegedly paid a friend $10,000 to help him disassemble the car at a warehouse. Mewbourn sold the engine, transmission and numerous other parts on eBay, according to the indictment."
