Default A little excitement at the Audi dealership this afternoon........

Stopped by the dealership after work today to snap some pics of my car while the engine was out and the new turbos were in. (I'll post the pics later). While I'm walking over to my car with the mechanic I hear:

"He's stealing the car! He's Stealing the car!" being screamed by my serivce advisor while she's running towards a Cadillac backing up in the service bay. He slams it in gear and speed out of the garage with service advisors & mechanics chasing on foot. I just figured it was a pissed off customer who didn't feel like paying his bill.

Turns out some guy came in through the back entrance, hopped in the car and just drove off! Police showed up a couple minutes later. Didn't get a look at the guy. I took a few pics of my car, and left. Would have been nice to catch a pic of the action, but it happened too quickly. No chance of stealing my car with the engine on the floor:-). No, this was not New Jersey!

Owner was actually there. Seemed to be taking everything in stride.

Default It was actually a sales ploy, the older gentleman in the caddy comes in for a quick oil change......

in his STS. Wanders over to the Audi showroom and sits in an RS6. Sales approaches but the man tells them he's just looking. Time to call in the reinforcements - steal the old bastards car! Good plan!

The man gets a tiny amount from his insurance company, but has no car so buys the RS6.

The "robber" gets $50 from the dealership and everyone is happy.
