Watch out Stephan Wilkinson, you have some competition.

MOSCOW, April 3 (RIA Novosti) - A Porsche 911 plated with real gold and worth an estimated $600,000 was stolen on Friday afternoon in the southeast of Moscow, a police source said.

The officer said that the owner of the exclusive vehicle had decided to sell the car and found a client via the Internet. The client arrived to take a look at the "Golden Porsche" and after two laps of test drive on a parking lot near the Volgogradskoye highway sped off in an unknown direction.

"After waiting for him to return, the owner turned to the police for help," the source said.

According to the owner, he used some 20 kg (about 45 lbs) of real gold to upgrade his car, which had an initial price of $120,000.

What the hell is an "unknown direction"?

So this guy goes and puts 45 pounds of deadweight onto a sports car, then hands it to some guy and doesn't even watch where it goes? Deserves what he gets.

The Porsche owner's oversight efforts make him qualified to oversee TARP allocations.

I guarantee that when the car is found it will be at least 45lbs lighter!
