decathlon Thursday 1/7/10

Try this brain teaser:

4 Men stole 4 Cars during 4 different times in the same day. We know who committed the crimes. For everything else we have only uncovered 3 clues, so we are stumped to who is responsible for what. We need your help.

This is what we know:

1. Carleton did not steal the Ferarri Enzo.
2. Carleton stole his car immediately before Pierson did, who stole his immediately before the Pagini Zonda was stolen.
3. Reynold stole the Dodge Viper, but he was not first.

Who stole what, and when?

Set up your own grid, and we'll check them at the end.
