Thieves broke into Noble Automotives Leicestershire HQ on Monday night, stealing three Noble cars an M12 GTO and two M400 models, one of which was brand new and awaiting delivery to a dealer. In total, the cars were worth £150,000.
The factory was burgled during Monday evening, and it has since been found that an out-sourced cleaning company failed to set the premises high-tech alarm system, which would have alerted police immediately.
Lee Noble, the companys MD said: The three stolen cars were driven away from the factory in convoy. But one of the thieves lost control of the Noble he was driving after less than a mile and the police retrieved it from a ditch. Given how unique the other two cars are, these criminals will have extraordinary difficulty selling them on. And since the cars are not homologated elsewhere in the world, selling them overseas will not be easy.
Nobles sky-blue coloured press demonstrator, which has appeared in magazines and newspapers around the world, is one of the stolen cars. Its registration is M400 GTO. The other, un-registered car is a silver-coloured model which was due for delivery to a dealer today.

I mean if I'm paying that much and they are "used" rare cars I don't know if I'd buy one. Also, why the hell weren't they caught after the deal went down??
