Yahoo Autos Thief Steals Car Carrier Full of Corvettes Because He Needed a Ride Home From Prison
Like a mission straight out of the Grand Theft Auto video game series, a man in Cochise County, Arizona hijacked an entire car carrier hauling 10 C8 Corvettes, estimated to be worth more than $1.25 million. Thankfully, the truck was recovered as peacefully as possible and no one was injured.
The suspect, Isaiah Walker, was reportedly talking to the truck driver at the Wilcox Loves Truck Stop, before stealing the truck. According to the Cochise County Sheriff's Department, Wilcox "lulled him into a sense of security." Then, when the driver was getting back into the truck, Walker threw him out, got in, and made off with it.
A Cochise County deputy quickly found Walker driving the truck—a car carrier hauling 10 Corvettes is neither quick nor easy to miss—and pursued him. Though Walker initially tried to flee the police, the truck eventually came to a stop on County Line Road.
