British man Ewan Valentine paid over $26,000 to replace his stolen vehicle, only to learn that he had bought his own car back. The 2016 Honda Civic Type-R was reportedly stolen from its parking space in late February. Valentine sought to replace it with a similar car. “I found one for sale. Same color, same year, same custom exhaust system,” he wrote. Upon checking the car’s GPS, he found out the car had already been to his house, his parents’ house, and his in-law’s house. “A part of me felt sort of triumphant for a moment until I realized, actually, no, this isn’t some heroic moment; you didn’t go and get your car back; you’ve actually done something a bit stupid,” he confessed. Police are still investigating the theft. (UPI)
