The Madison Police Department issued the following statement.
On Monday June 02, 2025 the Madison Police Department was made aware of a matter concerning one of our units that was at a local mechanic’s shop for repairs. It was brought to our attention that this unit was apparently photographed at an event in Franklin County, Mississippi on the night of June 01, 2025. The driver of the vehicle was not an employee of the City of Madison and it had not been authorized for this vehicle to be driven to Franklin County. We understand that there are occasions where a vehicle in for repairs has to be driven to determine certain issues or to test whether the vehicle is properly repaired; however, this was not the case with this vehicle. Once we were made aware of this incident, the Madison Police Department took possession of the unit and transferred it to a different vendor to complete the repairs.
The Madison Police Department continues its investigation into the matter.
Kingfish note: How often does this happen? Knew of a guy when I was in school who put his corvette in the shop. Was out that night and saw his vette fly by him at a very high rate of speed on the interstate. He raised hell at the shop the next day but the shop denied it and asked if he could prove it.

Its a real life Ferris Beuller moment!
Recent Corvettes have built-in dash cams. The idiots that joy ride someone else's car don't have enough smarts to turn them off.
Similar story! When I was in high school, my friend faked being sick in order to skip school and he and one of our other friends, who was sort of a hypochondriac, and his girlfriend, took their dad’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder into city for a day of carefree fun. While they were downtown at, or at times, in, a parade, the valet took the spider for a joy ride. The coincidence is nuts.
its like finding a receipt in your drycleaning
Attn: MPD Chief (if you are even at work), someone isn't paying attention. This flakey shop is probably owned by a "good ol' boy" friend of management.
How many car stops did he make en route to Franklin County, or just running lights/siren?
FN hilarious !! - pic looks like AI if you zoom in on hand and steering wheel
Happens a lot more than you think. Remember the lady who dropped her truck off at Mac Haik and then saw it at Lowes.
Relax- just a test drive.
Madison rednecks will redneck.
That doesn't appear to be a Madison PD unit.
Why not muster the balls to identify the repair shop. Since Mary will not allow auto-repair shops in Madison, must be Ridgeland or Gluckstadt.
Knew a man who worked in a paint shop. They did a very good job and had many corvettes wanting them to paint their car. One of the painters would borrow a corvette for the night and have it back in the shop the next morning. He was doing good until he totaled a new corvette that was supposed to be in for a paint job.
I remember when Ollie tried to take the squad car for a drive in Mayberry when Aunt Bee's sister Nora (and husband Ollie and 2 kids) visited. Andy didn't like it. But ole Ollie packed up and went home early when Andy told Ollie they would be going after some escaped convicts. Good times.
Winner
Put my car up for sale and salesman drove it all night one Christmas holiday. I sold the car but he went to jail later….for smoking meth ….nothing to do with me
KF, why you being such a race-baiting white supremacist by posting this nonsense? This is transphobic and THEY will sue for such libel and defamation of their 1st amendment right to bare arms.
@12:32 pm. I guess the Firestone and Mavis don’t count.
It’s amateur hour in the troll scene lately. You guys are imposters and not really as good as the real troll. For one thing, none of you know the latest buzz words. It betrays the fact that you are tryhard boomers.
If they had just done like Goober and worked on the car inside the Sheriff’s office we wouldn’t be having these problems.
6:02, they seem to be writing from another continent, and/or are AI. But yes: suddenly, they seem to be outnumbering real people. And they have the ODDEST recollections of times past.
The Audit Department needs to look at the markings on the vehicle. According to Mississippi law, vehicles need to be marked with contrasting markings. If you see a state, county or city car with similar colors, you need to call the Department of Audit. You can hardly read the Department's name nor the logo on the front left hood.
Hinds county employees with government issued 40,000 dollar trucks can be seen doing their personal shopping at the Kroger in Byram and Clinton just about every day including holidays and weekends. I got pics to prove it. One fills his travel bus once a month with the FUEL MAN CARD.
@ 4:50 - No, I didn't include tire and oil change shops.
