High-Speed Homecoming: Ex-Prisoner’s Million-Dollar Joyride with 10 Corvettes Takes a Wild Turn
When you finally taste freedom after being released from prison, the last thing you’d expect is a headline-worthy escapade. Well, enter Isaiah Walker from Lawton, Oklahoma, who decided that the best way to get home was to swipe an auto carrier truck loaded with 10 Chevrolet C8 Corvettes, boasting a jaw-dropping value of over $1.25 million.
Walker’s daring adventure began with a casual chat at a local truck stop, where he managed to earn the trust of a truck driver. But, instead of opting for a conventional lift, he chose the more audacious route, throwing the unsuspecting driver out of the cab and taking control of the luxurious cargo.
However, Walker’s joyride came to an unexpected halt when the authorities caught wind of his escapade. What’s even more surprising is his reasoning behind the heist – he claimed the high-end Corvettes weren’t the main incentive. According to Walker, he just needed the truck to get home. It turns out, his post-prison ride didn’t exactly go as planned.
Pro tip for ex-cons: if your idea of a carpool is hijacking a semi with a fleet of Corvettes, you might be confusing the term “grand theft auto” with “rideshare.” Next time, try an app — the only thing they’ll steal is your data, not your freedom.
