The Not-So-Perfect Crime

Stealing a car is not very hard these days. However, you need to know which car to steal, and how. Here is a story from Charleston.net that will show how thieves can be rather stupid sometimes.

Jeff Metts is the owner of an old car from the 1980s, and he wanted to sell it. One night he contacted an interested buyer, and they met at a gas station. As Jeff went around the car to the passenger seat, the driver locked the doors and drove away. However, he made a fatal mistake.

When someone steals a well known and new car, the only way to catch him is with the license plate number. The thief in this story stole a very rare car, one that can be easily identified. Hopefully it will be identified soon.

I hope you learned your lesson: don't forget to take all safety measures to make sure your car won't be stolen when you give someone a test drive.
