According to Facing jail, gang who posed as star to steal Mercedes:

A gang of car thieves who stole 30 expensive vehicles – including George Michael’s £57,000 Mercedes – from homes across London, Essex and the Continent is facing years in jail today.

They stole the singer’s Mercedes S350 from outside his Hampstead home after travelling to a dealership in Holland pretending to be him and producing false documents before being handed replacement keys.

Detectives recovered a number of vehicles but believe the gang sold other stolen cars to overseas buyers. Michael’s Mercedes was never recovered and is believed to have been shipped abroad.
