Fabo: Still bragging about his rides. (publicity photo)

Back in August, the rapper Fabolous had his ride stolen while in D.C. for a show — his Turtle Top van, to be exact. Miraculously, the vehicle was retrieved. Fab tweeted about the experience, writing: "In other news.. My turtletop van was stolen in DC this weekend.. They informed me they found it 2day.. Ppl still steal cars?? #WhoDoesThat."

Why, yes, Fab — people do still steal cars. They were stealing them last month, and they're still stealing them this month. And you're certainly not making it easy for them to stop.

On his latest mixtape, There is No Competition 2: The Grieving Music Mixtape, Fab gives ultra-detailed descriptions of his rides that would make even a reformed car thief consider grand theft auto.

The MC starts off appropriately vague. On "The Wake," he rhymes that “my car is a foreigner," which could refer to any automobile made outside of the US. Later, he further throws thieves off of his trail by mentioning TWO cars: "black truck, black coupe."

Then, on “I’m Raw," Fab gets all poetic about his Porsche, surely sending jackers into a tizzy trying to figure out the next time Fabo will be in town.“I blame them horses when I turn that Porsche turby on/My engine getting its Kentucky derby on/ Seats is brunette/Paint is dirty blonde,” he rhymes.

And, finally, Fabolous alludes to the fact that he may be tooling around in a brand new blue BMW 6 series on "Body Count." Although he refers to himself in the third-person, it's still pretty bold when he rhymes:  "He in a blue 6, screaming out, ‘Stop it, 5!'"
