by Failed Attempt to Steal a Corvette Z06
An attempt to steal a powerful Chevrolet Corvette Z06 from a car dealership ended in failure. The intruder, who likely entered the premises by breaking a window using an electric scooter, tried to drive the car directly through the window opening. However, the car got stuck on the windowsill, lifting its front wheels into the air. Photos from the scene quickly spread online.
Police detained the suspect immediately after the incident, before he could escape. It is reported that the Corvette Z06, which was the target of the theft, had a whole range of expensive options, including carbon fiber body elements and a front-axle lift system. The car’s value is estimated at over 165 thousand dollars.
Footage from the scene, published on social networks, shows the Corvette hanging in the window opening, unable to move any further.
This story is a reminder that movie scenes where heroes effortlessly jump through windows in cars are far from reality. Even a powerful car like the Corvette Z06 couldn’t overcome an ordinary windowsill. Now this car has an unusual history even before reaching its first owner.
The arrest happened very quickly – USC university security managed to grab the intruder before the police arrived. The incident serves as another example that attempts to replicate movie stunts in practice often end in failure. Especially when it comes to real cars and not special effects.
