WESTPORT, Conn. (WFSB/Gray News) – A Westport man had his Aston Martin carjacked from inside his garage over the weekend, police said.

The attack was caught on surveillance video in the garage.

Police said they responded to a residence on Bayberry Lane at 3:50 p.m. Sunday for a report of a burglary and carjacking. “It is believed that the suspects arrived at the residence in a dark blue BMW, as this vehicle was seen fleeing with the stolen vehicle,” police said.

The victim suffered minor injuries but declined medical attention.

The blue Aston Martin and dark blue BMW were reported to be last seen traveling north on Route 8.

  1. This doesn’t happen if you drive a Ford Focus station wagon.

2. Did it have a stick shift? If so, this was planned, not an impulsive “Let’s follow him home” crime.

3. If you need the home address of anyone who owns an Aston Martin, rather than the risk and bother of following him all over town, it would not hurt to have a friend in the highly-paid Motor Vehicles Department.

4. Was it old, having mechanical issues, needed a complete overhaul, and had its insurance all paid up?

5. He wasn’t Bond and gagged?

6. You may get your kicks on Route 66, but you get out of state on Route 8.

  1. I betting that these dingbats were just looking to joyride for a bit, until they manage to destroy the car doing stupid things. It’s a high price paid by others for a very small gain by a few who shouldn’t be.
