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."

Hahahaha. He never turns a profit. He must have a stash of $$$$$$ at the rate he loses it.

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 $$$.

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. :)
