Stealing a vehicle during a test drive is an old trick, which is why dealerships typically photocopy a driver’s license before handing over the keys. Even so, an Oklahoma man reportedly managed to make off with a Camaro using exactly this method.

Such thefts highlight the vulnerabilities dealerships face despite their precautions. The case serves as a reminder that determined criminals continue to exploit the trust inherent in letting prospective buyers get behind the wheel.
