Make sure you know the dealer guy.... ;-)

Lille - A man passing himself off as a car dealer stole a Ferrari from an unsuspecting trucker delivering the luxury vehicle near this northern French city, police said on Thursday.

They said the truck driver was unloading the Ferrari early on Wednesday when a man in suit and tie approached him and offered his help, claiming to work at the car dealership that had ordered the sports car.

But instead of driving the Ferrari into the dealership, the man disappeared with it.

An investigation is under way.

If they had been quick I would have thought the car would need refuelling within a mile or so.

I was under the impression that new vehicles being transported only have a minimal amount of fuel in the tank?

Nice story though.

Edit:

I certainly do not doubt the authenticity though.
