It must be pretty cool to own a luxury sports car, enough so that one man allegedly couldn’t give up the chase to have one in his possession. Police say a California man didn’t just swipe a Ferrari once, but twice, after abandoning it the first time, only to seek it out later at the impound lot.
Law enforcement in Studio City say a 39-year-old man was arrested for driving a stolen Ferrari, reports CBS Los Angeles, one that he simply couldn’t give up, it seems.
Police first noticed the suspect after he fled from a DUI checkpoint late last month, while tooling around in a 2014 Ferrari 458 Spyder. Cops realized it was reported stolen, and recovered it later after finding it abandoned in an empty lot nearby. All alone.
But its former suitor came back, cops said, the next day at 3 a.m. when he showed up at the impound lot where the car was sleeping. Er, being stored.
He allegedly broke into the lot and is accused of swiping the car for a second time, successfully making off with it for the next few days.
Cops found him driving around in the sports car a few days later, and arrested him on charges of car theft, receiving stolen property, burglary and other warrants.
