meh i call it just that!

you have to be a lil bit smarter than a rock to do something like that when there are no other cars on the road like it. Just like the guy who said the OP of the FocusRS in MI should block the license plate number in case of theft (because u can find out where the car actually is)...utterly ridic, watch you get away with that for 5mins....now if the idea was to steal the unique car for a highspeed highly publicized chase, then u wouldnt be stealing a Fiesta :lol:

...in all seriousness tho, I cant see Ford NOT having lojack (or at least a tap-in to the GPS) installed on these cars, it would have served so many purposes. Then to have the NY car stolen, ha looks like a good plan for promotion

It's totally a publicity stunt... it's right out of the "guerrilla marketing handbook". :lol:

yeh lets just hope someone doesn't see a fiesta and attempt a violent citizen's arrest on the driver:lol:

Yeah that is quite obviously a publicity stunt.

The car is being tracked by GPS so it shouldn't get far....

Buried within the noise that is Twitter this morning was a tiny tweet from Brooklyn-based Fiesta Movement Agent Jake Bronstein:

#fiestamovement car STOLEN. No, really. Police en route now. I almost couldve predicted this somehow.

Jake's Hot Magenta Fiesta (above is the model we drove in NYC during our First Drive) is one of 100 Euro-spec models that Ford has loaned to selected "agents" across the U.S. We don't have many details, but we have confirmed with Ford spokesman Alan Hall that the car has gone missing.

Scott Monty, head of social media at Ford, has also confirmed the crime's occurrence on his Twitter page. Not only does Ford know one of its Fiestas was swiped, it's also tracking the hot property. All of the cars given to Fiesta Movement agents apparently have real-time GPS tracking devices that allow Ford to keep tabs on their whereabouts. Thus, Ford knows exactly where the stolen Fiesta is right now, which is convenient, because the local police apparently can't even locate the vehicle in their crime databases because it isn't an official U.S. offering.

As this is written, we can tell you the Fiesta is heading south on I-95 near Port Chester, CT NY. Keep your eyes peeled if you're in the area... and maybe we'll have this wayward Fiesta back home before the street lights come on in Brooklyn.

I've read that book twice, but can't remember the chapter on stealing a car. :lol:

If they stole it FROM Brooklyn, why are they traveling south on 95 back towards NYC? Port Chester is almost in NY state.
