Maybe so - then again, who steals "one of three" and tries to fence the stolen parts
Spoke with Lauren (actually Lauren's boss who was helping her collect the car) - amazingly the car is intact and needs only a battery, ignition switch and kill switch to be a functional racecar again. I don't know if the car runs or not but in any case, even if the driveline were trashed, that's small potatoes compared to having to build a car from scratch.
