Crooks exploit pregnant roadside pause
One young driver and mother-to-be got a huge shock last week after having her sapphire-blue Porsche 911 stolen by a couple of opportunistic and morally-deficient thieves on a motorway in Northamptonshire.
The 28-year-old driver had pulled over after realising that she had a flat tyre. Heavily pregnant and worried about having to wait around too long, she was delighted when a couple of men pulled over in a white van and offered their services.
However, after putting a fresh tyre on, they waited until the woman had her back turned then sped off – one in the white van, the other in the Porsche.
The woman was so distressed she worried she might go into premature labour. She said, “It’s absolutely disgusting – these men have no morals. They couldn’t have cared less about leaving me stranded, even when it was obvious I’m just weeks away from giving birth.”
She added, “The man who got out was a bit of a Jack the Lad, very chatty. There was nothing that alerted me to what was really going on until he got in the car. It all happened so quickly.”
Now it is possible that the young woman will not see her Porsche 911 again, in which case she’ll have to make a claim on her young driver car insurance.
