Thief hijacked a Chevy Bolt EV failed to get away because ‘he didn’t know how to drive it’, police says

. . .
Local news reports that a Chevy Bolt EV owner stopped at the intersection of Gynerium Drive and Tom Kemp Lane in Austin on Saturday. Then a man, now known to 28-year-old Cory Allen Patrick, approached the driver’s side of the car.

The owner rolled down the window and Patrick yelled at the driver to get out of the vehicle. The driver rolled the window back up, but Patrick smashed it. After a struggle, the driver reportedly exited the vehicle as “he did not want to die over a car,” according to an affidavit.

According to the document, Patrick then attempted to drive away but couldn’t because” he didn’t know how to drive an electric car.”

The robber later exited the vehicle after a nearby witness reportedly saw the incident and ran to the rescue armed with a machete. . . .​

In theory news but this is too humorous.
