It was all a mysterious kaleidoscope of crime until last weekend, when investigators tied it all to a storage container in Richmond where they found a bright yellow Lamborghini and a teenager with a gun.

And, while they're at it, what the heck he thought he was going to do with a stolen $200,000 car.
