It appears the car thieves are targeting hotel parking lots in South Beach and Collins Ave area.   They are targeting high end cars, they are not breaking in and driving away, they are getting the cars towed.

It happened to me the other day when they tried to tow away my Tesla S.   However, it has the technology where I can see the car on my smart phone where it is parked and also get an alarm when it is moved, even slightly.    When I saw the picture on smart phone of my Tesla S with a tow truck I called the front desk, who in turn called 911 and had Florida Highway Patrol cruisers at the spot in less than 5 minutes.    Spanish gang who is doing it were arrested along with their tow truck.  

If any of you have to go to hotels in this area especially at night, please make sure to use Valet parking just to be safe.
