A man in Long Island, New York watched thieves steal his Hellcat and his other Dodge Challenger from his driveway while pleading with them to not steal the muscle cars. It’s the kind of situation that’s got to be so emasculating
The infamous Belltown Hellcat owner has a new warrant for his arrest.
As captured on the man’s home surveillance camera, these weren’t the most sophisticated car thieves. They just smashed the passenger window on the Mopars like a couple of cavemen. Then they climbed inside, put the transmission into neutral, and one pushed the vehicle while the other steered.
Once on the street, a Mercedes was used to push each Dodge away. We’ve seen this tactic used before and while not very advanced, it’s still effective enough.
As they were taking the Hellcat first, the victim ran to the front door and yelled at them to stop. But the thieves just kept on working like he wasn’t even there, not acknowledging his presence. It’s almost like criminals have been conditioned to believe there are few if any consequences for stealing cars in certain areas.
Even though these car thieves didn’t do something savvy like reprogram the Challengers’ ignitions, they did know how to disable the factory trackers. This is why we recommend using at least one aftermarket tracker, even an Apple AirTag, especially if you own a Hellcat or Scat Pack.
A report from NBC New York mentions just days later a second Hellcat was stolen from a guy’s driveway in Long Island with the thieves using the same method. While that doesn’t automatically mean it’s the same criminals, there’s a good shot it is.
Car thieves really love Hellcats, among other muscle cars and performance/luxury vehicles. If you own one of these, we highly recommend parking it inside at night if possible, installing an extra tracking device or two, and getting an aftermarket device that keeps thieves from starting the engine.
