I have a tale about which I can laugh now, but at the time I found it decidedly un-funny.
When I turned 33, I bought myself a brand-spankin-new 964 RS as a birthday present. I bought the car from a dealer in Zurich, and intended to drive it on tax-free plates for a while before I imported it into Germany. I had to pay cash, because Banks/Leasing companies don't like to do car business across borders. Another problem was comprehensive insurance. Best I could do was to get 3rd party insurance. I thought that I could sort it out once I am in Germany, but no luck there either.
Anyway, I had the car home for a few days (by this time it was 6 weeks old), when I woke up one morning and it was gone. I had to throw up a few times and then went to the Police. I have a pathological hate/distrust/contempt for those small-d*cked racist IDIOTS in uniform, and they just comfirmed my belief when they said "as an "ausländer" you have propably sold the car to Poland and now you want to defraud the insurance company." I am not making this up, I have a witness. I had great difficulty convincing them that the car was not insured and that I have just lost my life savings all at once.
Anyway, I slowly got used to the idea of no Porsche, when after about 1 year I was contacted by Interpol and told to come and remove my car from a Police compound in Belgium. Apparently the car (with thief) was found after about 3 weeks. The Belgian Police informed the German Police, but being the incompetent idiots they are, they never bothered to tell me. After a year, the Belgians were tired of my car on their lot and then contacted Interpol, who found me within 48 hours. That easy.
I then drove to Belgium, retrieved the car (still in good shape) and took it home. With me I had an official release from the Belgium Police, written in Flemmish, the language spoken in the area.
I then went to the German Police and reported that I had the car back and asked that it be removed from the wanted list. Next thing I had a pair of shackles on my hands and got thrown in jail for owning a stolen vehicle (my own). I spent a few days there while they had an official translation made of the release letter. They also questioned it's validity, since it did not have a rubber stamp on it (it was on official paper and signed) and everything in a German official's puny mind must have a rubber stamp on it. I finally got released when my Embassy got involved.
I tried to sue the Police for the whole episode, but it was my word against a dozen of them conspiring, lying bastards, so my solicitor advised me to drop the case. In Germany they have a "crime" called "insulting a state official", which meant that if I lost my case against the Police (which you always do), then they turn around and prosecute you.
Moral of the story: if you want to steal a Porsche and get away with the crime, come and do it here in Germany. The Police are just too plain stupid to catch you.
Wow, I think I feel better now.
