Another video shows suspects rush back to the lot and drove off with three luxury cars with authorities right behind them.
The cops gave up the chase and owner Sam Jidd is out hundreds of thousands of dollars again.
"Each one is about $120,000," he said. "There a two of f them 2022 S500 and one 2021 GLE 53," he said. "So now I have no keys, and I'm really very worried."
Jidd is worried the suspects will be back to steal more cars, using the keys they stole, so he has to shut his doors and prepare for what may come.
"I probably have to close the store for five days and hire security for every lot," he said.

What's more upsetting is he watched as police chased the suspects and they still got away.
"They saw them leaving out of the lot with the cars, they chased them halfway and they couldn't do anything," Jidd said.
The owner said he is so frustrated with all of the break-ins, he plans on closing up shop and moving out of state.
