What are the thief's doing with these cars?


Selling parts. Usually chop shops, then to shady body shops and mechanics. With exotics, many are exported to less principled markets, with minimal vin mitigation needed. Notice how the top stolen cars on every annual list are always ones with popular body styles (accord, etc), it is no accident. The parts are often worth more than the car, and can be sold at full market value, unlike a stolen car.
