KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - In what could have been a scene from car heist movie Gone In 60 Seconds, a brazen Malaysian Porsche thief has struck again.
After crashing the car worth more than 280,000 dollars out of an auto showroom, then abandoning it when fuel ran out, the thief returned with a can of petrol and stole it again -- this time from the police, reports said on Wednesday.
Police in northern Penang state found the Porsche 911 Targa 4 on Monday shortly after a well-dressed thief walked into the showroom with a chequebook, asked to test the engine, and then crashed the car through the showroom's glass doors, newspapers reported.
Officers found the high-performance car abandoned 1.5 kilometres (one mile) away after it reportedly ran out of fuel.
Police took the car back to their compound but, later Monday, somebody cut the perimeter fence, snuck in, and re-fuelled the car, the New Straits Times reported.
