For Corvette enthusiasts, this one hits a nerve.
A stolen Chevrolet Corvette ended up vandalized, crashed, and abused in a parking lot stunt session—and now police are asking for help identifying the people responsible.
According to a report from WRIC-TV, the car was taken from the 4000 block of Gaelic Lane in Henrico County, Virginia, during the overnight hours of October 19, 2025. Later that same day, the Richmond Police Department located the vehicle along W. Marshall Street in Richmond, Virginia, already vandalized and damaged.
When 8News spoke with the owner, Keith Kunze, he said the damage to his Corvette totaled around $20,000.
The Video That Fills in the Blanks

According to the Henrico County Division of Police, investigators later obtained video posted online that shows the stolen Corvette being driven recklessly in a Richmond, Virginia, parking lot on the same day it was taken. Detectives confirmed the vehicle in the footage is the same one reported stolen in October.
The video shows the Corvette doing donuts in front of a large crowd, with multiple people filming. At one point, the driver crashes into another vehicle. The car is visibly vandalized, including spray paint on both sides, with one side reading “SOGGY.”
In the same footage, a person can be seen hanging out of the passenger window holding a sign that reads “SHOTBYFRENCHIE,” a detail also highlighted by investigators in their release.
Police Ask for Help Identifying Those Involved
Authorities say they have also obtained surveillance images of two individuals believed to be connected to the incident.
According to the Henrico County Division of Police, anyone with information is asked to call 804-501-5000. Tips that lead to the identification of those involved may qualify for a reward of up to $25,000 through the Virginia State Police HEAT Program.
The footage is out there now, and if this kind of thing ever gets solved quickly, it’s usually because someone recognizes what they’re seeing and speaks up.
