On November 3, 2013, Guyer entered the W.I. Simonson Mercedes dealership in Santa Monica and requested to test drive a car.

He gave the salesperson an Arizona driver’s license, which was then photocopied and retained for the dealership’s records.                     

During the test drive, Guyer stopped the vehicle, told the salesperson he had a gun, and ordered the salesperson out of the vehicle. He then fled the scene. The vehicle was recovered six days later in Hermosa Beach.
