A would-be car thief in China found that 13 is an unlucky number. During his attempted escape from pursuing police at Meizhou in China's Guangdong Province, the man managed to crash into 13 other vehicles. A traffic officer tried to flag down the driver of the stolen vehicle but the man instead began bulldozing his vehicle through the streets in an attempt to escape. The thief’s escape was soon blocked by stationary rush hour traffic. As the traffic officer pursued on foot the thief rammed the vehicle into other cars as well as a motorcycle, forcing them aside. He managed to drive on again but only to be stopped shortly after by another jam. Again the thief rammed the car into other vehicles, including a truck. But the car had suffered so much damage it could barely move by this point and police officers were then able to stop the man, who was later charged for the series of traffic offences he had committed.
