In Miami, a cunning thief has managed to get away with a Rolls Royce Cullinan and a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 with both of them costing over 500 thousand dollars. What is even more mind-blowing is that all of this happened without them being there physically. All it took was hacking into the driver’s portal for Dealers Choice Auto Transport Service of West Palm Beach, the company that was delivering luxury vehicles according to WSVN 7 News Miami.
After hacking the driver’s portal, they got all the relevant information after which they placed a call to the driver posing as the owner of the car and changed the delivery address. The car thief changed the Maybach GLS’s drop-off location from Hollywood, Fla., to Miami, and then diverted the Cullinan from Limited Spec Automotive, a dealership located in the city where it was supposed to be delivered, to a random parking lot. Either by skill and precision or by a stroke of luck, they managed to get away with both cars.
Now, this is where it gets really funny. After stealing both cars, the thief went on to make a joke about Dealers Choice Auto Transport Service and the owner of the Cullinan after they texted them trying to recover the cars. When the delivery driver sent a text to the thief saying that they had stolen from the “wrong guy,” they replied, “That’s what the guy with the Cullinan said as well,” later adding: “Thanks for the free Maybach dawg.”
The Maybach GLS 600 is arguably one of the most luxurious SUVs around, but that isn’t the only thing special about it. It is also really fast and goes by the nickname “the bouncing Mercedes” because it has a bounce mode that allows it to bounce on a single spot, and the starting price is a gaping $174,350 or 260 million naira. The Cullinan on the other hand is a Rolls Royce and that instantly makes it royalty. This 592 hp-producing beast has a starting price of $374,000 or 560 million naira.
To add salt to injury, the thief sent another text that read “Bro, car already in Dubai, or Europe you guess.” followed by a photo showing a destroyed section of the floorboard where the vehicle’s GPS system is located.
Authorities in Miami say that they are still investigating, meanwhile, a bounty of $20,000 or in Naira, 30 million has been put out for each car.
