Kip Raines, is that you? A Seattle man decided to steal a car, Raines-style, but instead of a silver 996 Porsche 911, he swiped a new Camaro Z/28. In doing so, yes, he drove it quite literally out of the dealership.
It’s almost romantic: Plan to steal a beautiful, desirable car; break into the dealership in the dead of night; then drive said car through a glass window in a Hollywood-esque escape. But the 2014 Z/28 may have proved too burly for the culprit—after driving through the glass doors of Bill Pierre Chevrolet in Seattle, he took his newly acquired sled on the shortest joyride ever: a half-mile.

Fortunately for the dealership, police were able to locate the stolen Camaro relatively quickly, as a cruise of nearby neighborhoods turned up the car sitting in a driveway. While we don’t yet know if the thief has been apprehended, he obviously ain’t no Kip Raines and “this ain’t the Dukes of Hazzard.”
