Hard to say what this is. Is it basically Soviet, basically banana republic, or a combination of both? Down on the Animal Farm, the pigs are more equal than the other animals.

Oh wow! The Ferrari that was stolen from the suburban Philly dealership turns up again! The salesman said he let the guy drive it alone (without going along with him) because he "looked rich" ! Guy never came back!

I never imagined I'd hear about it again!

Something about the Magna Carta and the rule of law.

"Just a few seconds after we left the parking lot, we went around a curve, and the rear of the car began sliding,"

lol...yeah, blame it on the car instead of the incompetent loser behind the wheel. That's the ticket.

“A claims adjuster noted the frame was bent, rendering the vehicle — now worth $750,000 in working condition — a total loss.”

A minor aside, but a bent frame doesn’t automatically render a vehicle a total loss - it’s a matter of degree.

“Just a few seconds after we left the parking lot, we went around a curve, and the rear of the car began sliding,”

Ya....it just started “sliding”....$500,000+ sports cars are notoriously unstable.

Not only did they steal it for a joy-ride and destroy it, they were driving recklessly and above the speed limit.

And, there’s no indication if they were fired.

This is absolute corruption.

IIRC, the F50 has a carbon-fiber frame. Can’t be straightened.

I can’t find a pic of Fast Freddy. I’ll bet the doofus tried to steer out of the skid. I learned how to “drift” a go-kart when I was 13.

This is total crap, fire the two pond scum and hand over all of their personal property and money and pay the balance. Damn what a crock.

Gummint is loaded with people that don't know how to drive ... and have driver's licenses to prove it.

When I made delivery's in a big truck in the DC/Maryland/N Virginia area, I was never so amazed at how arrogant (unofficial self poll ... approx 40% vanity license plates) those drivers are.

No class, no patience and no common decency of the road.

Although I agree that the "sovereign immunity" clause is valid, it does not immunize government employees from criminal behavior. Reasonable and proper care of property under the care of government employees is assumed.

Taking a car in their care on an *unauthorized joy ride does not in any sense conform to ordinary diligent care.

*OF course I will admit total error if the procedures for storing recovered valuable stolen property includes provision for joy rides for any employee.

Corruption, abuse of power and a complete lack of accountability are features of both, so I'd go with "both". Grossly incompetent idiots are usually very good at sniffing out organizations which will cover their asses, so stuff like this just serves as a recruiting tool for more idiots to join the government.

During the French Revolution, I wonder what happened to the French Bureau of Investigation. Are they daring us? Are they wanting to start violence against the people?

“IIRC, the F50 has a carbon-fiber frame. Can’t be straightened.”

In which case every time a relatively minor accident damaged the frame of one of these vehicles (it doesn’t take a huge impact to tweak a frame) it would result in totaling a $750,000 vehicle. Even if one could afford a car like that, who would want something that fragile/non-repairable? Even folks who can pay $750,000 for a car aren’t generally interested in buying another one at the drop of a hat (or paying for the insurance necessary to cover that kind of loss severity/frequency).

If nothing else, it seems it should have replaceable sections (or a replaceable frame assembly...I’ve appraised/supervised thousands of auto losses but never on this vehicle and claim no expertise on it).
