A Con Man, The FBI And A Wrecked Ferrari F50
This wild story revolves around a con man named Tom Baker, who had a knack for stealing Ferraris. Baker, an airline pilot and smooth talker, first convinced a North Carolina dealership to let him test drive a 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS, which he never returned. He repeated the scam in Long Island with a 1985 Ferrari Testarossa.
In 2003, Baker entered Algar Ferrari/Maserati in Philadelphia, claiming to be the CEO of a California tech firm. He asserted he was ready to make a down payment on an F50, provided it met his performance standards during a test drive.
The dealership eagerly handed over the keys, and Baker sped away with the F50 at 100 miles per hour, disappearing once again. Motors Insurance Group had to cover the $375,000 cost to reimburse Algar for the stolen vehicle.
