Corvette traps would-be thief in B.C.
The Canadian Press Posted: Oct 24, 2011 11:46 AM PT Last Updated: Oct 24, 2011 11:50 AM PT

A would-be car thief in Prince George, B.C., has learned a powerful lesson from a powerless car.

He now knows that the Corvette he tried to steal on Sunday afternoon becomes nothing more than a four-wheeled holding cell when the battery dies.

RCMP Sgt. Jason Keays told the Prince George Citizen the 21-year-old jumped into the idling Corvette just as the owner was putting away a charger used to revive the sports car's dead battery.

The owner watched in disbelief as the thief rolled up the power windows, locked the power doors — and promptly stalled the vehicle while trying to back out of the driveway.

Without enough juice in the battery to restart the car, the suspect was trapped inside as the Corvette withstood his efforts to smash a window or pry one open with a screwdriver.

As police arrived, Keays says the man was trying to bash his way out with a hatchet stored in his backpack, but instead was arrested and charged with various theft and weapons offences.

Never been in a Corvette, but you can't unlock it manually from the inside?

there is actually a small latch between the rocker panel and the seat to open the door if the battery dies.

Even if he didn't know, he couldn't break the window with a hatchet? IT'S A FUCKING HATCHET!!!

Hmmm, in these cars with electronic doors (Cadillac CTS Coupe, Corvettes, etc.) How do you open the doors when the battery is dead from outside? I know theres a latch inside the car, but what if you store the car for a while, doors are locked and stuff, and the battery dies out on you, and you cant get in to pop the hood? Theres no keyholes or anything at all :fulloffuck:

Been wondering this for a long time now, seems like a good thread to ask.

yes the FOB has a key hidden in it, and there is a visible or hidden keyhole near trunk or licence plate area. Once you open trunk, there is latches in the trunk to open front doors (specifically in the 2011 C6 Vette)

They didn't show scenes of Nick Cage stalling the "ladies" in Gone in 60 seconds...

If you are going to be a car thief, learn to drive!
