Dealership Guard takes $111,000 Corvette ZR1 for a spin, posts video on Youtube...


We finally found someone that makes Lloyd and Harry [that would be the dynamic duo from Dumb & Dumber] look like Mensa candidates. Meet the now unemployed, but as-of-yet unnamed, security guard at the Dallas Auto Auction in Dallas, Texas.

This bright young man not only gave in to his urges upon seeing a brand new $111,000 Corvette ZR1 in the secured parking lot (that, we could try to understand), but also had the brilliant idea to film his joy ride and upload the video that showed his face as well as the car's dealer plate on Youtube.

When the story made its way on the web, he removed the clip, but by then, it was too late. The company that owns the car, the Woodhouse Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge auto dealership outside Omaha, Nebraska, quickly found about the video by a someone, someone and immediately took legal action against the unnamed man.

A few words of advice to the security guard: 1) if you're foolish enough to do something illegal in the first place, don't film yourself and upload the video on Youtube for the world to see, and 2) delete your Facebook profile before your pictures take prime real-estate on internet headers...
