Steve Syme, 50, of Salt Lake City, was quickly apprehended by police today, after he stole a Burgundy Ferrari off a dealership lot, then went on to rob a jewelry store and pawn a $1,900 ring with the car.  The 550 Maranello was stolen after an employee left the car idling while transporting it and other cars out of the showroom for a show at the Salt Palace. The car, the only one of its kind in the area according to employees, was worth approximately $130,000. Syme was pulled over after the car was easily spotted by a police officer on patrol.

This is the first time a car was stolen from the Steve Harris Imports business. Since little gasoline is kept in the vehicles, the employees assumed the thief would not be able to get far. During the ninety minutes the man had the car, he stopped by Paul Thomas Jewelers and stole a diamond ring then preceded to Midtown Pawn, two blocks away from the dealership where the car was stolen, and sold the diamond ring.
