Logan Sparkman, Kayla Smith | Apr 9, 2024 / 04:11 PM CDT | Updated Apr 12, 2024 / 08:50 PM CDT. . . Not only did the group drive eight vehicles off the lot, but they also stole more than 300 keys. Technicians and locksmiths are still working to replace and re-program the keys belonging to all these vehicles.
The break-in happened just after midnight on Sunday, according to Arab police. The thieves threw a rock through a window in the dealership’s service bay. Once inside, police say
they turned off and wiped several hours worth of surveillance video.
Anthony told News 19
they then plugged a computer into the dealership’s key safe, unlocked it, and took all the keys.
When police were notified the next morning of the break-in, they found several trucks and cars missing. . .
The 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon mentioned earlier had been driven out of the lobby through a bay door. Anthony said
once they were done inside, the thieves locked the doors back and the burglary wasn’t discovered until the next morning by a cleaning crew. . .

This was an inside job. Someone had knowledge of the computer system, surveillance tapes, and knew how to lock back up.
