Well, on the bright side, they didn't damage the car and used the correct jacking pads for the bricks. They could have just dropped on the ground. Someone cared

Its crazy because the regular GT350 does not come optioned with wheel locks while the R is optioned standard with the locks...

The first day with my GT350 I went straight to ford parts and got the locks.

Digging the rust on those brakes. The dealership didn't care enough about that car. They just left it in the open air like that exposed to the weather.

Yes but the rust on those high end brakes isn't insured.

Looks like the dealership that has that GT350 have no idea what they have there. To them it is just another high end car with a huge Additional Dealer Markup... Just a cash pony, er cow.

The question is, will the future owner ever know there car had this happen to it?
My experience is if the customer doesn't ask the dealer will not tell!

I just got a 2017.

Curious what locks did you go with?

The Ford factory ones are ugly - real ugly. I have a set but have not yet installed them.

I run the Gorilla locks that are slimmer than the factory lugs. All 20 lugs are locks that need the key to be removed. The factory lugs are crap...

Thieves are scum, but at least they had the decency to steal from a stealership and not your average joe.
