Doh!

Oops! FBI agent seizes Ferrari for 'investigation', takes it for a test spin.. and smashes it (then refuses to pay $750k damages)

When the FBI managed to track down a stolen top-of-the-range Ferrari in 2008, its owner was understandably delighted.

But relief turned to red rage after one of the officers looking after the vehicle before its return took it out for a spin in Kentucky, lost control and smashed it into a hedge.

Now the owner is suing the U.S. Justice Department, driven to court after it refused to pay the $750,000 in damages to the wrecked sports car.

'Just a few seconds after we left the parking lot, we went around a curve and the rear of the car began sliding,' Thompson said in an email released to Motors Insurance Company, the Ferrari dealer's insurer.

'The agent tried to regain control but the car fishtailed and slid sideways up onto the curb. The vehicle came to rest against a row of bushes and a small tree.'

Thompson was not hurt in the crash, but FBI agent Kingston needed a few stitches for a cut on his head...

I'm quite confident the agent was driving sensibly and within the speed limit...
