- A trio of thieves used a Chevrolet Equinox to ram through the wall of a Chevy dealership in Pennsylvania.

- The Corvette was later recovered about 80 miles away, but the Camaro remains missing.
A lot of people love Detroit muscle, but not all are willing to pay for it. A trio of thieves in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, likely falls into the latter category after driving their Dodge Challenger to a Chevrolet dealership to steal a Corvette and a Camaro.
The incident occurred just after midnight, on Friday, April 26, when the thieves in the black Challenger pulled up at Renn Kirby Chevrolet. Although it’s not clear how, the suspects were able to get the keys to a new Chevrolet Equinox that was parked outside, near the showroom.

The SUV was not their target; instead, the thieves used the Equinox to crash through the glass doors of the dealership and clear a path for the vehicles they actually wanted to steal: a pair of V8-powered performance cars.
Gettysburg police report that the stolen vehicles were a new silver 2024 Corvette Stingray and a yellow 2018 Camaro ZL1 convertible. After taking the vehicles, the three thieves drove away towards US-30.
Fortunately, the Corvette has been recovered with the help of OnStar, but the thieves managed to make it quite a distance. The dealership reports that the mid-engine sports car was found in Silver Springs, Maryland, nearly 80 miles (129 km) away from Gettysburg.
However, the stolen Camaro has not yet been found. The police investigation is ongoing, but the dealership asks for anyone who recognizes the Challenger, or who has information about this crime, to come forward.
Unfortunately, neither the condition of the Corvette, nor the Equinox is known, and an estimate of the dealership’s losses has not been provided. However, the cost of replacing the dealership’s broken glass doors will likely be high.
