Wait..What the $%#@ ?

Chalk this up to just a typical case of the Tuesdays, I guess. Show up to work at your carLink dealership in Scottsbluff, Neb., and get out of your car, ready for a fun filled day of selling automobiles...just to notice that nearly every car on the lot has disappeared and the desks of three executive employees have been cleaned out. Well, that was the case for a couple of works at Legacy Auto in Scottsbluff as per the Yahoo article that came out today. According to the report, 81 cars in all, all Fords and Toyota's were swiped from the lot and the desks of the general manager, a controller and the owner.

To update the report, some of the cars have been tracked down via their vehicle identification number and six were at the Scottsbluff airport, two dozen in Salt Lake City (where one dozen were sold at one auto auction) and the search and is still continuing. The total estimated value of the missing 81 vehicles in $2.5 million.

Perhaps the kicker to this story is that all three previously lived in Utah..making me believe that all people from Utah are car thieves. Well maybe not, but it sounds good enough for me. So word for the wise, don't trust your car to anyone who previously lived or currently lives in Utah. Of course I'm just kidding, but seriously...how does one pull this off with 81 cars? Even if you got 12 cars per semi, that would be 7 semis full of cars, where do you have that kind of manpower in Scottsbluff?

Well, despite the disappearance of the cars, Legacy stayed open...what a bunch of troopers.
