There’s an old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Alex Cortese operates his dealership and automotive consultant business from Dallas. He complained on Instagram that he’s now lost over $300,000 in stolen Mercedes G-Wagons—in just two months. But this second one may truly have not been his company’s fault.

Cortese’s dealership often buys vehicles at auction, then hires a transport company to pick them up. He took to Instagram to share a terrifying call his driver made from Flint, Michigan. “Our real driver went to pick it up, our car was missing and it wasn’t there and nobody knew where it was.”

“That car was $150,000 too.”

Cortese’s first thought was “Somebody faked a gate pass and stole our G63.” But the auction house’s system showed his SUV as “still there.” So all Cortese can think is some driver had a pass to pick up another vehicle and snagged the G-Wagon at the same time. Either way, it seems like the SUV is gone. And that’s not the worst part.

Not the first G Wagon the dealership’s lost out on

“This is the second G63 that’s been stolen from us in two months.”

In total, Cortese is out over $300,000. “The first one that got stolen from us, we had to eat $165,000. And now this time, we had absolutely nothing to do with it. Our driver showed up and there was no car.” Cortese didn’t go into detail about the first theft. But when he said “this time” it wasn’t his fault, he may have had to eat the cost of the last one because he had an employee mess up. What about this time?

Cortese’s first reaction was that “Somebody wasn’t paying attention. Somebody messed up and made a mistake.” He hadn’t decided whether it was the transporter’s fault or the auction house. But long story short, the auction house was still in possession of the SUV. So likely, it will be their insurance reimbursing Cortese. See his reaction video below:
