This abandoned chop shop is hiding a massive fleet of potentially stolen luxury cars.
We’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of cars, ranging from luxury cars to more ‘normal’ cars.
They’re all in relatively okay condition, but they’re all unusable.
And for a very good reason.

An incredible collection of abandoned luxury cars
The guy behind the 2swag YouTube channel found a chop shop and car dealership with hundreds of abandoned vehicles allegedly seized due to ties with an illegal organization.
We’re not going to get into that, but we can talk about the cars that he found.
According to the YouTuber, and based on what we can see, there are at least 200 cars in the warehouse.
We’re talking about dozens of Jaguars, BMWs, Porsches, and even a Mercedes SLR McLaren.
The SLR McLaren is rare, so it’s always a bit of a heartbreak when you find one that you is no longer usable.
Unfortunately, all the other cars will almost certainly never run again either.
They can be fixed, no doubt, but even if somebody somehow miraculously manages to free them from the warehouse, it’ll be impossible to free them from red tape.
Why people find abandoned vehicles so frequently
Finding abandoned cars is becoming a bit of a global sport for YouTubers.
Unfortunately – or fortunately, up to you – for car fans, it’s also a relatively easy sport to play.
Finding abandoned cars is easy because it happens a lot more frequently than we think.
There are several reasons why that’s the case.
Sometimes, it’s just collateral damage to a disaster, like cars abandoned in Fukushima or Chernobyl.
On other occasions, it’s because the original owner died with no heirs or with heirs that don’t care about cars.
Sometimes, that’s the case with this particular warehouse – it’s because the cars are tied to some sort of scam or wrongdoing.
It’s such a shame.
