Berlin - A thief in Germany used a flower pot to steal a €150 000 (R1.5m) 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 on Tuesday.
As the 56-year-old was bending down to remove a flower pot
jammed against a tyre, a man pushed him aside, leapt 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.
