That is truly awful. 

Looks like the "security guards" failed.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Not a SHELBY expert

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.

I'm guessing the Guards were either Sleeping or Playing Video Games.

Or perhaps in on it? How strict are the hiring requirements?

Just another reason why I personally wouldn't take any of my Shelby's overnight and unattended to a Show.

 this is exactly why  when we do tours the locations are not given out till everyone is home .
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

When we had the BOSS 302 Reunion in Medford Oregon. We hired private security that answered to us NOT the hotel. The local security group has off duty sheriffs that were the real deal armed security with a badge...and local backup if needed.

Clearly a failure of the security personnel and the security company.

Problem was at the hotel not the show. They don't mention any show cars being damaged only windows broken so the perps could see if you had anything worth stealing.
It sounds like Columbus is not a good place to hold a Good Guys show - and hasn't been for several years.

Looks like it was a Bad Guys car show.  Extremely unfortunate for those affected.
Just nuts.
