You've Got to Admire Persistence

There is indeed something admirable about this:

The suspect had first attempted the theft on Monday at a luxury car showroom in northern Penang state, local papers said. Dressed smartly in a suit and tie, he asked for the car keys and promptly sped off, smashing through the glass windows.

The car was later found abandoned a short distance away, its fuel tank empty.

The New Straits Times said the man kept the keys and returned with a canister of petrol to a local police station where the car had been towed. He drove off with the Porsche, ditching it later after he discovered roadblocks had been set up to stop him.

Yes, yes, I know, he's a criminal, it's not a victimless crime, he is indeed a very naughty boy: but persistence is an admirable trait, isn't it?
