Taken out of the garage
Ferrari aficionados will know more than a mere Ferrari enthusiast (me) so what is it...the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was a limited production version of the 550 but ~400 examples were made iirc rather than 4. Also I would have thought more than 4 would be RHD, so await incoming...

I think the problem is that they go in a container so no tracker signal. 6 2weeks on they pop up in outer wherever and the authorities there don't want to know. A garage removes the tracker, it's 're registered, sold on. The car doesn't come back to Europe, story ends.
If you have a tracker, you'll know that this simply isn't true. I'd wager that this car didn't have one. If it does, it'll be parked somewhere and if it isn't picked up by the police, it'll be collected and broken or shipped offshore.rubystone said:

Battery disconnected, tracker found and removed (very easy) then loaded into a truck/container and gone forever.
It's very sad but this is seemingly easy for them to do.
I've had my Ducati stolen twice. It's very sad but this is seemingly easy for them to do.
Got it back twice.
Good fitters hide the tracker well.
The thieve always disconnect the battery. But the tracker has its own battery.
The second time my bike was taken on to a gypsy encampment in south London.
The police were not pepared to get it for their own "safety".
After a week the thieves obviously thought that the tracker battery would have run out and moved the bike.
It hadn't.
The police got a free stolen van with my bike.
(The tracker people were fantastic, couldn't have done more. The police were almost deliberately obstructive.)

It would work, a radio transmitter can't transmit through steel.
Which, of course, is complete, utter and unmitigated bks."Unlike GPS or GSM only based systems, VHF can still recover your vehicle even if it is in an underground car park, a shipping container or transported in a covered trailer."
