Default 6 Audis Stolen in Edison, NJ

Can't find the damn story online to cut and paste so I'll do it by hand, just for you guys:

Star-Ledger, July 27, 2007

"Thieves make off with six Audis

Edison: Police are looking for the thieves who drove off with six Audis from a storage facility in the township early yesterday.
Lt. Joseph Shannon said the robbers cut a hole in the fence surrounding the storage area and removed four Audi Q7s and two RS4s, worth more than $360,000.
Shannon said police are not identifying the location of the storage facility nor the dealership as part of the investigation."

Whatever happened to the new-fangled Audi security system?! Inside job maybe? Maybe they got the keys?

Default I can see my RS4 in the driveway still, phew.

Those RS4 have got to be heading overseas I would think, its not exactly like a civic where you can just chop it up and sell the parts to any old ricer.

Got a link to the article? I cant seem to find it on the star ledger's website.

Default Probably an inside job. >

Someone I know had a brand new custom ordered BMW X5 V8 (the really sporty one) stolen by the guys that worked at the dealer parts counter.
They were ordering new keys for cars and following the owners and stealing the cars when parked.

It happened at a Golf driving range in Southampton, NY, and luckily there was a surveillance camera that caught it all.
This was like 7 or 8 years ago.

Something like 90% of the thefts from dealer lots are inside jobs.

Default Couldn't find the link either...

It's in the Middlesex County Law & Order Section from Friday's paper. Co-worker showed me the article at work since he knew I'm still recovering from the theft of my Audi myself.
