BERLIN (Reuters) - A thief in Germany used a flower pot to steal a
150,000 euro ($221,000) Porsche.
Reversing out of his open garage, the car's owner heard a scraping
noise and got out to investigate, police in the western city of
Bonn said Tuesday.
As the 56-year-old was bending down to remove a flower pot jammed
against a tire, a man pushed him aside, leaped behind the wheel and
drove off in his grey Porsche 997 Turbo.
"All the shocked man could do was jump to one side to avoid being
run over," police said.
