A 45 year old man has been handed a 2 year suspended prison sentence after stealing an Aston Martin DB11 from the British manufacturers headquarters in Gaydon.
In a very strange twist of events, the man claims he had an argument when out with some friends, that left him abandoned in the area with no way of getting home. The stranded man wandered into Aston Martin's HQ and was able to get away with an Aston Martin DB11!

That night there just happened to be a glitch in Aston Martin's security system, which allowed the 45 year old to drive away in an unregistered DB11.
The next Morning, police were alerted to a disturbance, describing an Aston Martin driving wildly around the streets in the early hours. The police found the car abandoned, and sniffer dogs traced the man to his house, where he was found with keys to the DB11 and another Aston Martin model.
Aston Martin have said that they were forced to write-off the car, as the damaged caused by the man meant that the car could not be sold as new, and as the car had no registered keeper, could not be sold as a used vehicle either.
The man was given only a minor sentence as the judge ruled that the theft was coincidental, and not planned.
