Police Looking For Thief Who Drove Indy 500 Pace Car Through Dealership’s Window

Police are looking for someone felt the need to destroy a perfectly good replica Indy 500 pace car by driving it through a car dealership window last night. Apparently “replica” doesn’t mean the there’s no engine.

Authorities in Indianapolis are looking for a man suspected of breaking into the dealership, stealing the keys to the white Chevrolet Camara convertible — with the top down and security alarms going off all round — and driving it right through a two-story glass showroom window, reports IndyStar.com.

The car, bearing its Indianapolis 500 logo, then drove over a three-foot staircase and landed on the ground before the driver raced off. Police later found the $50,000 car totaled, but are still looking for the man.

The window could cost as much as $75,000 to replace.
