A Russian thief did not get very far after he stole a car from a repair shop - without realising the brakes had been removed.
The 24-year-old had taken the broken Nissan Primera from the garage in southern Moscow and tried to make a quick getaway.
But witnesses watched him sail through a set of traffic lights and smash into another car just a few yards down the road.
A Moscow police spokesman said: "He told us he had watched mechanics doing a paint job on the car and had seen them leave the keys in the ignition so he decided to take his chance.
