E55 being targeted in So.MD for theft

Looks like there have been 3 E55s stolen in Southern Maryland recently. Two out of people's driveways.

Wow, that's crazy... someone definitely followed me home the other night and I was really suspicious so I didn't turn directly into my street, but kept making U-turns and they were doing the exact same... until I finally made a quick U-turn and they missed it and I lost them. It was reeeaallly shady...

I wonder what the actual percentage of late model stolen cars are actually victims vs. how many just needed out of that car for whatever reason (upside down on it and had gap ins., car was in need of expensive repair, car was taking long to sell...etc) so it was accidently stolen and paid for by insurance. It's not a calculable statistic but I'd guess it's at least half.

To steal most late model cars you need a tow truck, the keys to the car, or someone with engineering level of technical expertise on that particular car.
