Florida Man Tries To Trade In Car To Dealership He Stole From

They say a suspect may return to the crime scene. One man was bold enough to do so, according to First Coast News.

It started when Lake City Police responded to a dealership on 4325 W US Hwy 90 on Monday (September 20). Officers learned from employees that a man, identified as Timothy Wolfe, came in wanting to trade his current vehicle for a new one.

The thing is, his vehicle was allegedly stolen from that same lot just a few days prior. To confirm this, police say they checked the vehicle's VIN number, which matched with the one reported stolen. Officers also reviewed the dealership's camera footage, which captured the crime happening, authorities added.

Wolfe was arrested and booked into the Columbia County Detention Center on charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle, dealing in stolen property, criminal mischief, and petit theft.

He wasn't the only one who tried to play tricks with a car dealership. Earlier this year, a Florida woman tried driving off with a vehicle during a test drive. A California man managed to carjack an Audi dealership employee during a test drive.

In an even more wild incident, a Utah man tried to set several vehicles on fire at a dealership.
