Stolen Z06's car wasn't stolen?

Transcript

Remember the guy who went viral for running from the cops in a stolen Corvette Z06? Well, he was hiding one huge secret. His car was never even stolen. This is Stolen Z06, and his brother also got arrested too. But he would drive around Charlotte, North Carolina, baiting cops into chasing him just to record it all and put it on social media. And he went absolutely viral. At its peak, the page had over 300,000 followers. And no matter what the cops did, they just couldn't catch him. Probably because every time he ran, he either had no plate or a will run plate, but there was one time they almost got him. Five cop cars boxed him in and he still somehow managed to get away. And over time, his videos got so popular, went so viral that Charlotte PD said, we've got to do something about this guy. But the next time he ran, they got a helicopter out and you think the story ends here, but he still got away. All right, maybe this guy does know what he's doing, but after multiple investigations and trying to track him home, they finally got him. All to find out that his social media name Stolen Z06 was completely fake and his car was just financed under his name. I swear that's got to be the craziest social media scheme to say your car is stolen and record yourself running from the cops. But after all that, he got arrested, went to jail, and no one's ever heard from him again. And Finance Z06 is now locked up Z06.
