14 Ford Edge SUVs Stolen From Factory Lot in Most Boring Car Heist Ever

Hatching a plan to steal 14 Ford Edge crossovers is like breaking into a jewelry store at night and making off with a bag full of digital Casios. That's what happened at Ford's Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada a couple weeks ago, when thieves busted in and stole a bunch of Ford Edges, the least interesting SUV with a Blue Oval badge since we lost the EcoSport.

In the middle of the night on January 8, thieves cut a hole in the fence at Ford's Oakville facility to access the cars, as Ford Authority reported. It's unclear how they managed to get into and start the cars, how they drove off with them, and why they didn't take the more valuable Lincoln Nautiluses also built there. I'm assuming the hole in the fence was large enough to drive the SUVs through, but the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) didn't specify. Five people have since been arrested and 12 of the stolen cars were recovered.
