Automatic Transmission in Ferrari 488 Confuses Carjackers
It's a well-known joke that a manual gearbox is one of the most anti-theft systems you can have on a car. However, sometimes even an automatic transmission can become an unsolvable problem for criminals who are bankrupt of intelligence. And recent report from The Daily Mail proved the point.
Ferrari 488
According to the newspaper, a laughable
accident has recently occurred in England, where two unfortunate and
low-skilled thieves tried to steal a £200,000 Ferrari, but faced the problem of
shifting gears in the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and found nothing better
than fleeing the crime scene.
This epic crime took place on the evening of February 19 in West Midlands, when the owners of the house weren’t home. Criminals intruded into the house and collected things of value. As they began putting their loot into the trunk of a stolen Audi, they suddenly found the keys to the supercar among stolen things.

According to security tapes, two simpletons had no problems in getting into the Ferrari and even managed to start the car and engage the R gear as they started their escape. And then their lucky streak ended. They just failed to engage the D gear. Instead, they just left the Ferrari on the road and ran away. The owner of the car heard about the house robbery and unsuccessful car robbery when a neighbor called. Unfortunately, thieves took away all valuables stolen from the house. It is known that some blood was found in the car.
According to the police, it's unclear where the
blood came from, but detectives suspect that one of the thieves may have
injured himself on some broken glass climbing into the house, but we all know
that’s not their biggest fiasco of the night.
