Car dealers don't exactly have reputations for being the most trustworthy people, but with stories of fraud on the hands of the world’s most successful Lamborghini dealer it’s not too difficult to imagine why. Fueling the flames for the 'dodgy dealer' stereotype this week is an Infiniti dealer in Denver who allegedly asked an employee to steal a customer's Porsche Cayman.

If you're a little confused by that plan, the scheme in full was to steal the Porsche in order to pave the way for a sale of an Infiniti vehicle. According to Robert Yarbrough, the employee being pressured to steal the Porsche, the owner of the Cayman was sick of making monthly payments for the car and wanted to switch to an Infiniti.

According documents filed in court by Yarbrough, his boss, Tony Drees, told him to "get rid of" the Porsche, and that it wouldn't even count as theft because the keys would be left in the vehicle. Yarbrough is claiming that because he refused to steal the Porsche he was fired by Drees, reports Automotive News.

Meanwhile, Drees is countering that Yarbrough was actually fired because five cars were stolen from the dealership's lot while Yarbrough was the inventory manager. While both sides accuse one another of being the wronged party, knowing exactly who is lying and who isn't will be left up to a court in Denver.
