Default Thief steals Porsche 911, does donuts in police parking lot

Thief steals Porsche 911, does donuts in police parking lot



What is thought to be a band of thieves broke into eight cars at a park-and-ride lot in Salem, New Hampshire. Then it is thought they went next door to Cars, Inc. and stole a Mercedes-Benz, a Land Rover and a 2003 Porsche 911. The Mercedes and Land Rover getaway drivers reportedly went on about their business quietly. The Porsche driver, on the other hand, decided to flaunt what he got: at 2 a.m. he drove eight miles over the border to Methuen, Massachusetts, pulled into the local police station and did donuts in their front lot.

But wait, there's more: he took off, entertained himself for two hours, then went back to the police station at 4 a.m. and whipped up a few more hot, rubbery circles. A police cruiser was on scene and gave chase, but the 911 pilot got away.

A little later in Lawrence, MA, two miles from Methuen, someone called police to report a rolled 911. The stolen wheels were recovered, the thief in question was not. We have no doubt the Methuen PD – once the screaming stops – is preparing to put that Porsche through a forensic and DNA investigation that would make CSI proud.

Agreed...but they will have to ID and find him first (assuming, of course, it is a male, which is probably the case). That is not going to be easy....even with a reward for info leading to an arrest/conviction.

I was surprised to hear that the 911 got rolled. It has stupendous handling, a very low center-of-gravity, and many electronic stability/traction aids. For even a nine-year-old 911 to wind up on its roof requires some truly idiotic driving (with the VSC turned off), or a side-impact with a curb or something that would force it up on two wheels. The old days of rear-engine Porsches wanting to swap-ends in a turn and spin-out from sharp drop-throttle-oversteer are pretty much gone.

Yes, only a moron could flip a 911. Get it?

I hope the thief gets busted for stealing the car.

But I give him much respect for making an *** out of cops

It looks like a naturally aspirated 996 car. Once upon a time a $70K car that is now worth... $19K? Ouch.

To the owner: take the insurance money and run!
