Car Thief Caught Napping
August 30, 2004Advertisement
The 46-year-old would-be auto thief had selected his car of choice after checking out the vehicles stored at the multi-storey car park at Hanover airport recently. After successfully breaking into the car, however, the thief was apparently overcome with sleepiness.
The owners of the car came back from holiday to find the man had made himself comfortable in their car, slumbering under blankets and propped up with cushions. Despite being arrested later by the police in possession of the tools he used to break into the car, the thief protested his innocence before being escorted away to face charges.
