Stolen F348 in Dallas
#13
Might be the best forum post I've EVER read, ESPECIALLY on a ferrari forum:
Okay...I just wasted about an hour of my life reading this thread, and while I think there is a whole lot of shadiness going on, the one thing that bothers me more than anything else is how many people have come out and slammed 'probable cause' because he may work at a job that is hourly, and are attacking his credibility based solely on that fact and his financial status. True, I think you should verify any claim you have with proof, but I have watched page after page of ivory tower ******bagery with people saying he cannot be trusted because he has an hourly pay job, or that he may work at a liquor store or other 'questionable' job. You people need to get a freaking grip. Financial standing has NOTHING to do with what kind of person you are. Some of the most crooked, bound for hell, people I have ever met are very wealthy. They just ripped people off their whole lives and benefitted from it.
Just because many of you (and myself included) dress in suits most days, and report to an office that implies financial achievement, does not make you anymore credible than someone working at McDonald's. Get over yourselves. The 348 and F355 are cheap cars now. Deal with it. Plus, just having a career that is mainstream (lawyer/doctor/stock broker/etc) does not buy you credibility. Think how many of the elite thought Bernie Madoff was a 'stand up guy' or 'respectable' just 5 or 6 years ago, and now realize the guy was just a high end thief and con-man.
I am just saying...stick to the facts. Just because someone has an hourly job and may spend that money on an F355 is none of your damn business. They can spend it how they want. Take the claims at face value for ANYONE you meet, and look for proof accordingly. But just having a Ferrari does not make you 'credible' like most people here seem to think it does. If he posted a picture of his F355 and a bank statement, would you all suddenly take 'probably cause' into your arms? Think about it.
