KEY POINTS:
BERLIN - A thief in Germany used a flower pot to steal a $293,000 Porsche.
Reversing out of his open garage, the car's owner heard a scraping noise and got out to investigate, police in the western city of Bonn said overnight.
As the 56-year-old was bending down to remove a flower pot jammed against a tyre, a man pushed him aside, leaped behind the wheel and drove off in his grey Porsche 997 Turbo.
"All the shocked man could do was jump to one side to avoid being run over," police said.
