The facility concluded the vehicle was a stolen 2017 Maserati."It was exciting for it to be coming down the hill, waiting for it outside, everything was fine," Scott told the outlet, but then mechanics inspected the vehicle, and "that's when they found out that the vehicle was stolen."POLICE IN NORTH CAROLINA TOURIST TOWN REVEAL WORSENING VIOLENT CRIME STATS FOLLOWING FOX NEWS REPORT"When they check the VIN number on the chassis, that's when they saw that it was a stolen vehicle.
