Just because the body parts are that expensive?

they failed to mentioned that the headlights are gone too.

Jokes aside, it's a shame. also, way too much risk for less than $5k worth of parts. hope they catch those idiots.

They even left it with the torn cover on it.

Hopefully they catch them. Having driven my Viper through Clinton many times, it's always a circus. These guys would have had to be pretty good to move it that far with no pics being taken.

have you idea how many cars there are here in italy in this condition? (not viper)

if you stolen a car here...it is not problem...You'll never go to the jail....I hate my country...

Well, why go through trouble and leave drivetrain, that is worth a lot of $$$ and wheels too? Here what happened (i was not there i promise) The uneducated thiefs thought it was probably a vette, stole it at night time removed the body panels off and "**** *** its a viper for crying out loud, we had an order for a vette, SOB!!"

I agree that its a meanspirited thing and a foolish risk, but from the thieves' perspective if they thought they could move 5-10K worth of parts (or use those parts on a salvage car THEY are building) then it would make sense. St Peter will have something to say about this in years to come.....

I could maybe understand leaving the drivetrain as that would be more of a hassle to remove, not to mention you'd have serial numbers to deal with. The body panels are quick to take off and less traceable I'd think. Still seems like they left an awful lot of expensive stuff within easy reach though. Shame either way, but at least it looks like it might be easy to rebuild.

Lots of good parts left on it.

 

[denniskgb]

Like they say...it will buff out.

Wonder if I can get the wheels...

 

[TitleMine]

Crap, dumped like 20 minutes from my house.

I think a new hood is 19k all buy it self.

Not anymore. I think they are like $6k new...so lugging around a used one might not be worth the space per $ it will bring. Compared to the wheels

Holy cow they came down, I use to always worry if I needed a new hood and paint 22k, at 6k I may take off the bra.

Ya don't quote me exactly. I'm going by memory, but they are in that range.
