OK it sucks for him that his car was stolen but the lawsuit is ridiculous. Maybe he should have worked with the insurance company to make sure if was insured for the correct value like a smart person and not claim like a moron it was worth 400k and somehow the dealer is liable because it was parked outside. I hope this guy loses out on this, no sympathy here. I guess if you're a billionaire you handle things differently.

Billionaire or not, I would be through the roof! He has every right taking this idiotic dealer to court. The car is a RARE Turbo S..as to how this particular car was optioned who knows. Can it be worth $400K? Have you ever priced out some of Porsche's Exclusive options?...can be ridicoulous. Keep in mind when money is not a factor, Porsche will do just about anything you want(at least they did back then).

His reasoning may be based more on principle than the actual car. Some dealers can be real a-holes when owning up to their mistakes. I applaud him for going after some morons who left his car outside...to be STOLEN. I bet if he wins his case, it will be the last customer car that gets left outside or the last RARE customer car that gets left outside..more power to the owner..

Default Inside Job?

Ok, not a conspiracy theorist, But I now a Dealer who got a good deal on a pair of Air Cooled's, One being a 930, Dealership had locking gates, 930 disappeared later, car had easy alarm to break, but how did they get out the gates.
Your in LA, come on? I suppose a Car thief saw it from the Bus Stop? I'd see if any Employee goes on a spending spree

Hmmm. Seems like an odd coincidence that this ad was placed on the Pelican site on May 17th:

Good luck collecting $400k from his insurance company on a Turbo S that probably sold new for $180k. I don't think it is going to happen . . .

Not suspicious at all. I always buy the most expensive car I can when I'm going to rip it apart for a project car.

Money is no object for this guy...he wants to teach the dealership a lesson. If it was my 911, I wouldn't be happy with market value payment. Especially since it is well cared for.
