Ouch....
Berlin (Reuters)
A thief in Germany used a flower pot to steal a 150,000 euro ($221,000) Porsche. Reversing out of his open garage, the car's owner heard a scraping noise and got out to investigate, police in the village of Bonn said.
As the 56 year-old was bending down to remove a flower pot jammed against a tire, a man pushed him aside, leaped behind the wheel and drove off in his grey Porsche 997 Turbo.
"All the shocked man could do was jump to one side to avoid being run over," police said.

Same idea as the story where they stick a piece of paper on your rear window. You get in start your car, look in the mirror and see the paper, get out to check it out, and they jump in and take off.

Not sure if that one actually happens, or if it's an urban legend. Either way the flower pot thief was pretty creative.
