Hot wheels

In the US city of Miami a car dealer proved very accommodating to a paraplegic man who dropped into the showroom to check out the various models on display. The dealer had already sold a number of cars to paraplegic clients and thought nothing of letting this man sit in one of the vehicles. However when the salesman rolled the man to one of the cars, a 2009 model, he first made himself comfortable in the driver’s seat, then locked the doors and using his cane to work the accelerator, sped away leaving his wheelchair behind. The salesman immediately called the police who quickly managed to locate the car but stopped the pursuit when the driver crossed the county line. The man was later apprehended when he stopped to refuel at a service station. He was charged and fined.
