Suspiciously Parked Porsche Gets Explosive Attention Of Paris Bomb Squad

A young Parisian has learnt the hard way that he needs to respect parking rules after police bomb squad officers blew the bonnet off his €150,000 (£130,000) Porsche when he left it overnight at a taxi rank. The 25-year-old went out for an evening of dancing in the chic sixth arrondissement of the city last Thursday but got frustrated when he couldn’t find a parking spot for his powerful Porsche Carrera S. The man, named only as Olivier by Le Parisien newspaper, spotted a space at a taxi rank and decided to leave it there, with the hazard lights flashing, while he went to a nearby Left Bank nightclub.
