Justice served - Guy Fieri's Stolen Gallardo found



A year had passed without word of his missing car. Police recently searched a secure storage unit rented by a 17-year-old. Sitting in the unit was the yellow Lamborghini, still in good shape.

I guess there's still hope for all the Rolexes stolen in the past year or so.

well if the watch stays in the country. I believe most stolen Rolex go to other countries.

Funny comment in the local newspaper when this story broke:

"Dang, a 17 year old kid rappelled into a dealership and drove this off, only to get caught a year later on some firearms charges? Makes my hellraising high school days seem like choir practice by comparison."

No, Jared would have looked through the locker, opened up the car to see if anything valuable was inside, then complained the locker was a bust. :)

Don't really know - most people driving these cars don't own them, they lease or finance.

Guy is a success story after winning one of the "reality chef" shows on Food Network. His series DDD is one that I always enjoy.

Just wonder if he gets it or the insurance company. Soon after he lost the Lambo he got a new Camaro SS to burn up the $$$.
