Vito Arena was a close childhood friend of Scorney who remembered him as a "a kid who liked to joyride and hang out at gas stations." He became prolific among Roy's gang of car thieves who was able to disable the typical car's security system and drive away within thirty to forty seconds. Although he worked for Roy DeMeo, it was strictly "freelance" stating to Richard DiNome that he would never work for "the Mafia guys." A month after his old friend Vito Arena bumped into him on the street he joined Richard and Scorney's grand theft auto chop shop operation.

During the summer of 1978, Frederick, Vito and Scorney took an estimated four to seven cars a night. Richard occasionally disputed with Scorney about acting as the team's "break and enter" man for the vehicles but their relationship remained steady. He was making an estimated $1500 and $2500 a week.

He drove a $3500 Porsche Turbo Carrera including two other brand new luxury cars and lived in a newly furnished highrise apartment in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn where he told criminal associates he hid $25,000 in the base of an artificial plant for bribing police.
