I’m not saying I know this didn’t happen. I haven’t done any research, I just watched the video. I really haven’t put a lot of thought into the story.
I tend not to believe everything I watch on youtube.
Could have really happened.

Kingsolver, I haven't had a complete car taken but I've had some thieves break into my storage container next to my shop and they stole over $6k worth of parts. I also had a 72 Longhorn Cheyenne Super stolen from a media blasting shop. It was just a bare roller but it was dent and nearly rust free. I've never found any part of any of this. I don't doubt for a second this guy's car was stolen. Every year on Power Tour cars are stolen. Shoot, it happens daily and at least 3x a month you'll see classic cars and trucks. shared on social media and many have been recovered from all the extra eyes.

BRL, I agree. I've integrated some safety's to some vehicles to hopefully slow down the theft. A few years ago I was at a local Menards and I had a bunch of snap-on cordless tools and 2 digital torque wrenches in the cab of my orange 72. It was parked directly under a pole with a camera on it. The stuff was on the floor and not on the seat. I left the truck unlocked. I came back outside to a broken window and all the tools gone. Guess what? The store management wouldn't release their footage and even with local police asking for it, they refused. People suck!
