Portsmouth Road, Surray, England, thieves steal a MK1 1972 Ford Escort Mexico for the Trackspeed Classic car showroom. The night was full of adrenaline as these thieves crash through the window and hook a tow rope to the vehicle and just pull the car out of the showroom in a matter of only 47 seconds.
In my opinion these thieves had quite the guts to take such a high dollar without hesitation and I will be surprised if they don't get caught soon.
Questions:
1. What would you do as the owner of this showroom and come to work in the morning to see the window broken and a car missing?
2. What was going through the head of the thieves as they were stealing the car?
3. If you would do this (hopefully you wouldn't) what would you do with the car?

Your summary is quite brief and you only replied once to student comments.
I would freak, call police right away, and go straight to the security camera footage. They were probably thinking about how bad it would be for themselves if they got caught, and what they were going to do with the car if they made it out safely. If I stole the car, I'd probably drive it out of that state, to another, acquire a new paint job of the opposite color, replace the bumpers and linings, and keep it as my own baby.
If I would come to what happened i would get the feds to figure out who did it. I think that they were thinking that they wouldn't get caught because it was at night. I would sell it as fast as I could so that they can't find out that I took it.
To all of you saying "sell the car" you wouldn't want to enjoy the car and its abilities?
Yes but once they find the car they would be all over you.
I would be really mad and call the police. They were probably thinking of the money they could get for the car. Obviously sell it.
I would never steal that expensive of a car. I mean i wouldnt ever steal a car but something so expensive that person will be found. If i was the owner and it was at his house hopefully they had cameras. I would be upset if my car was stolen from me. But if he bought that expensive of a car he can probably afford to replace something pretty quick.
I'd be furious. That they are going to get a lot of money. Sell it, I wouldn't keep it.
If I was the owner I would hope I had cameras and then check those first. Of course I would be mad though! I don't know what was going through their heads.. I am not them.. and if I did it, I'd probably sell the car fast cause I know they will be looking for it.
I would freak as the owner of the showroom and the owner of the car as well. The thieves were probably just in it for the money. If I stole the car, I would drive the crap out of it because it is a reallllyyyyy cool car in my opinion.
