How to steal a $700,000, limited edition Ferrari F50 in two easy steps:
The Porsche dealer got a call: "I saw a red XYZ convertible sitting on the lot yesterday. Is it still available?" When it was stil there: "Great. It's my wife's birthday today and I want to surprise her. Bring it over to Toronto General Hospital and page Dr. Foo." (It might have been Sick Kids Hospital.)
The dealer happily brought the car over and had Dr. Foo paged. A man in a hospital own came to reception, went out and confirmed that this was the car he want, wrote a personal check and drove off. A few days later, the dealer's bank called to say that the check was for a non-existant account. The real Dr. Foo was on holiday camping and looked nothing like the "Dr. Foo" that answered the page.
