I reported like 2 years ago about gangbangers using the "Flipper kids toy" to hijack new C8s being stolen, even right out of GM's BGP and here we go, brand new 2025 ZR1s being stolen and driven right out of the parking lot 
During the late evening hours on Friday, August 8th, it’s being reported that two Corvettes were stolen from the Corvette Assembly Plant.
These were two ZR1s according to plant spokesperson Rachel Bagshaw.
Both cars have been recovered.
“The Kentucky State Police, Bowling Green Police Department, and Warren County Sheriff’s Office were swift in their response and successfully located both vehicles,” Bagshaw said. “We are grateful for the support and partnership with all law enforcement involved.”
The Bowling Green Police Department said one Corvette was recovered in Bowling Green, while the other was located three hours away in Martin County, Indiana.
Neither car was damaged, but the one in Bowling Green was spike stripped during the pursuit.
Police also confirmed the arrest of 20-year-old Daedrin Cool who was booked into the Warren County Regional Jail at 3:45 am Saturday.
His charges include engaging in organized crime, first degree fleeing or evading police, first degree wanton endangerment, theft by unlawful taking of an automobile, first degree criminal mischief, tampering with physical evident and obscuring the identity of a machine of $10,000 or more.
An accomplice who drove the Orange Corvette ZR1 was being sought by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

***** UPDATE 11:15 AM *****
It is believed that Smith is no longer in the Loogootee/Martin County area.
We ask that you check all garages and out buildings to confirm that a vehicle or mode of transportation was not stolen from your property.
*** ATTEMPT TO LOCATE ***
ATTEMPT TO LOCATE:
DENNIS T. SMITH, A 26-YEAR-OLD BLACK MALE, 5’8″ TALL, 155 POUNDS, LAST SEEN WEARING A BLACK SKI MASK.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in an attempt to locate the black male described above. He was last seen in the Loogootee area near Pizza Junction after a vehicle pursuit and crash. He is considered to be armed and dangerous. If located, do not attempt to approach him, call 911.
Having read through the different reports, the two Corvettes stolen were painted in Sebring Orange and Arctic White.
The White ZR1 was recovered in Bowling Green, and a Michigan man in a black Cadillac has been detained as part of the pursuit.
She mentions at one point that speeds from the Orange Corvette reached 180 MPH, which again seems to confirm that they were ZR1s that were taken.
