Florida man steals 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo from Sarasota car museum

The Sarasota Classic Car Museum in Sarasota, Florida is the second-oldest continuously operating car museum in the country after the Henry Ford Museum. One of the examples in its collection of roughly 150 cars is a brown 1977 Porsche 930 Turbo with the 3.0-liter flat-six that the museum values at $250,000. On the morning of June 14, that car was stolen.

The alleged thief is 36-year-old local Daniel Boyce, who set off the alarm at 3 a.m. while entering but didn't leave signs giving away his entry. When police responded to the alarm, they couldn't find anything amiss, and they couldn't get in touch with an employee to have a look around, so they left. Five hours later, police were called back to the museum, this time finding a door had been pried open, a chain link fence cut, and employees saying the 930 Turbo was gone.

According to the report, Boyce moved seven other exhibit cars out of the way in order to extract the Porsche. He drove out thanks to gas in a can on-site and the keys sitting on the Porsche's floorboard. Police were able to pull surveillance video of a man entering the museum while the alarm was going off, and they saw the Porsche down the road driving away two hours after the alarm.
