It almost looks like a scene in the Knight Rider television series — a super car roars to life and speeds off, leaving those around it stunned and dumbfounded. Only in this case, it is not a scene from movie.
In an incident in Shah Alam, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, like the one in the picture — not sure about the colour though, belonging to a member of the Kelantan royal family was stolen from Puspakom, the vehicle inspection centre.
According to a report in the New Straits Times, an inspector and a driver were inspecting the RM1.42 million sports utility car’s undercarriage to verify the chasis number when they heard the engine roaring into life in the 2.30pm incident on March 2.
“In seconds, the car had sped off, driven by an as yet unidentified suspect.
“It is understood that a customer later told police that the suspect had been spotted loitering near the centre prior to the incident,” a source told the newspaper.
A nationwide hunt has been mounted for the brand new “runaway” vehicle.
Moral of the story: never turn your back on a Porsche Cayenne with the ignition key inside, never even go to its undercarriage without taking the ignition key with you. And they call themselves vehicle inspectors!
