If you drive a standard car, you can usually take it to the brand dealer without too much trouble. There they know about the hat and the brim, they have the right tools and usually it is not all that exciting. If you drive a modified car, finding a garage is a lot more difficult. The brand dealer does not want to burn his fingers or does not understand anything at all about what has been done with the car.
So you go to a specialist. And that is quite exciting, because you leave your beloved car with a large bag of money in the hope that that person really knows what he or she is doing. What happened in Colorado Springs, America, is a car enthusiast’s worst nightmare. There, a Subaru specialist stole engines, parts and money from about twenty customers and fled.
The victims found their cars abandoned on the street
The specialist parked the cars with missing parts or even without an engine on the street outside his garage. Someone posted a video of the cars on Facebook (see bottom of this page). As many owners as possible wanted to pick up their car, but found out on the spot that it wouldn’t start – because it no longer had an engine in it. Many customers had already paid in advance at the request of the Subaru specialist. One of the customers is missing 25,000 euros and a boxer engine.
When the story hit the local news, other people came out with stories about the same Subaru specialist. The owner would have done the same trick in other American states and ran off with money and belongings. Both the police and the boxer-language part of the internet are looking for the man, but he has not yet been found.
