A woman who tried to steal a Cayenne was unable to put it into drive despite it being a PDK and was at a loss.

Cayenne theft incident in Canada

The bad news continues with a Porsche Cayenne being stolen in Canada.

The incident appears to have occurred on September 6, 2024, but the perpetrator is still on the run and Kaien's whereabouts are unknown.

This incident apparently occurred as part of a car buying and selling transaction via a Canadian website called AutoTrader, where individuals and dealers list cars they want to sell and people who are interested can purchase them.

This time, it appears that the incident occurred when a private owner had listed their Cayenne on the site with the intention of selling it, and the perpetrator visited the site saying he wanted to see the car.

I'm sure private sales are common in Japan as well, but in this case it seems like the owner came to his home to look at the car, so it seems very risky to give away your home address even in a private sale...

It appears that there were at least three thieves in the group, one of whom was a woman who rang the doorbell at the owner's house.

At around 2:00 p.m., he visited the owner's house in broad daylight and asked the owner, "My father is coming later, but can I see the car first until then?"

The owner, of course, did not suspect anything and led the woman to the Cayenne, where she sat in the driver's seat.

When the owner tried to get into the passenger seat, he found the door locked...and it seemed like it was just a mistake, but the Cayenne continued backing up.

When the panicked owner got behind the car, the woman backed up the Cayenne and nearly killed the owner. They managed to avoid it at the last moment (the owner was injured in the elbow, hand, and leg, but luckily nothing serious happened!).

After this, the woman tries to start the Cayenne with the gear in reverse, but for some reason she can't get the car to move.

I understand if it was a manual car, but why did it take so long to put the PDK into drive?! This is what foreign media has said, and it's true. What was the reason for this period of time when it couldn't be moved?

The woman managed to get the Cayenne moving, and her likely accomplice, a grey Bentley Bentayga, also sped off. The blue BMW SUV that was thought to have brought her there also fled.

There is clear footage of the female perpetrator, so I hope she is caught soon.

Until now, there have been many transactions and relationships that have been conducted based on the assumption that people are good, but it is sad to see that little by little we are losing the ability to trust anything (tears, tears).
