A man near Birmingham, U.K. was given jail time for stealing an Aston Martin supercar after he said he was abandoned by friends and needed a ride home.
Jason Boon, 45 said he was out with two friends on May 5 when he got into a dispute with them and they left him near Gaydon, Warwickshire, almost 30 miles southeast of Birmingham.
Not knowing where he was, he went to higher ground where, according to his lawyer, he saw bright lights in the distance.
Those lights were an Aston Martin factory, and because of a fluke with the security system, he was able to get inside.
No one challenged him as he entered the factory’s office, where he found keys and key fobs to the factory’s vehicles that were in the final stages of production. He picked out the keys to a $261,000 DB11 supercar, and was not only able to start the car, but was able to get out of the warehouse and through the front gates.
