The 190 is probably already in Albania being used as a taxi.

Bit disappointed to see it was a crash, thread title had me thinking the owner caught him and applied his own "justice" shoottank

Oh well..

Well it's not vintage, it's not high powered, and it is in fact one of the most benign classics around as, to all intents and purposes, it drives like a modern. The toe rag was more than likely out of his face on 80% Vodka and confused by the automatic gearbox.

Most vintage cars would be incredibly difficult to steal for the average scrote without the use of a winch and low loader.

Good point - would love to see an average car thief try and move a Model T Ford.

Indead. If, and it's a big if, the thief could get it going, actually getting it moving would be a major achievement. Braking for the first corner would be amusing for everyone other than the driver and owner.

I'm surprised it did so much damage if it only travelled 30m. They're not exactly quick cars and wouldn't have gained much speed in such a short distance.
