It took two years to build it in reality, ten seconds of montage to put it together on screen, and about ten minutes to steal it. In a rare automotive example of life imitating art imitating life, the Nissan Skyline that Paul Walker drove in the latest Fast & Furious movie was stolen from its storage facility in Los Angeles.

Although dressed up to look like a full-on R34 GT-R for the movie, the car underneath was actually a lower-spec GT-S. Reports indicate that thieves, evidently knowing the car was inside, broke through a metal door and ripped off that specific car, leaving the rest but sideswiping a Studebaker and a Porsche Boxster on the way out. And to make matters worse, the car, valued at around $75,000, wasn't even insured. Considering the movie grossed $72.5 million in opening-weekend box office sales alone, we doubt the seventy-five grand will be terribly missed.

I do hope they catch the bastards because they evidently have no love for cars judging by the damage they caused to the other vehicles.

Both sides are stupid:

-the thieves for stealing a 75.000 dollar car (HOW dumb can you be, if you're in Hollywood you can steal so many expensive cars, but not one for 75G'z)

-the film-studio, for not having insured the car (almost as dumb as the thieves, maybe even dumber)

but as they say in the article, they really won't care after getting all the money from that movie

Any higher value car would put a lot of heat on the thieves. That should be the main reason i guess. Also a car like this would be easier to blend in rather than a stolen Zonda or a Ferrari . At least those should be what the thieves when stealing it

If only they had put the gps in it from 2F2F and then they could follow it for a chase scene and there you go .. the fifth movie
