All-new Ferrari California T That Was STOLEN By
So in today's weird news, we've got an interesting story coming to you from where else but Florida. 

According to reports, an all-new Ferrari California T was stolen December 8. And when I say "all-new," I mean it. The vehicle still had the window sticker attached. Nabbed with an Uber driver behind the wheel, the alleged thief told the police officers who stopped him it was a friends' vehicle.

Well, considering the police scanners read the New York state license plate as stolen that clearly didn't add up.

In addition, the driver noted that he was an Uber driver. Of course there wasn't a passenger in the Ferrari at the time of the stop. Whether or not the arrested individual is an actual Uber driver is not clear. 

Note to law-abiding citizens: License plate scanners aren't so bad after all as the actual owner of the California T now, rightfully, has their car back.

License plate scanners are truly fascinating technology for their ability to grab plates so effortlessly and the speed at which the information is processed.

What freaks me out is that I've seen 3 non-police cars in several cities in California with plate scanners. One rig was mounted on a Nissan Sentra and there was a laptop mounted inside the cars. The other two cars were similarly nondescript.

If you're going to jack a car you may as well make it a sweet ride as the punishment is the same regardless of the badge...

This site should alternate between negative Tesla headlines and negative Uber headlines to keep the inmates happy.

I think we do a good job publishing TSLA headlines that are positive and negative. Reality is there's just far more bad news surrounding TSLA at the moment due to the Model 3 ramp up.

And I don't think we really cover Uber that much. And, as a power user myself, I am definitely not against the service.

So, yeah.

@Agent00R What @carloslassiter was actually saying was that as a fanboy of Tesla and Uber, he wants to hear no negative reports because they trigger him. :)
