STOLEN FERRARI RECOVERED WHEN THIEF BEGS FOR GAS MONEY

A $300,000 Ferrari stolen in California was recovered after the alleged car thief ran out of gas and began begging for money. Israel Perez Rangel, 38, was arrested in Santa Ana after he went to a Mobile gas station in the luxury car and started asking people for money so he could buy gas. The vehicle was reported stolen two weeks ago when owner Susan Friedman went to collect the car from the Ferrari & Maserati of Newport Beach service center in Costa Mesa – and it was nowhere to be found. According to security footage, a man wearing a Ferrari jacket drove off with the vehicle after he found the key had been left on the passenger seat. The recovered Ferrari 458 Spider was in bad shape, with cracked fins, a destroyed gearbox and vomit dripping down the side of the vehicle. Friedman’s insurance company wrote her a check for the damaged vehicle, which she used to buy a 2018 Lamborghini Huracán.
* “Can you spare five bucks for gas for my Ferrari?” What’s wrong with this picture?
* How about begging for a handful of quarters to wash off the vomit?
* It wasn’t “Fast and Furious”, it was “Fast and Funky Smellin'”.
* Let’s note the excellent security features of Ferrari & Maserati of Newport Beach – they have a “camera”.
* So, this Susan Friedman … is she single?
