Crime doesn’t pay unless you consider using, say, credit-card fraud to cover a $13,000 rental fee on a McLaren 12C. And we suppose it will keep paying until you’re caught, a lesson learned by two California teenagers who, according to the San Francisco Chronicle , were pulled over this weekend after having executed this very scheme.

The investigation is ongoing, but the driver has been arrested and had also used the credit card to pay $27,000 to rent a $12 million house. As for the McLaren, it was subsequently reported stolen. The supercar’s appeal is strong to be sure, but we advocate that the enjoyment of any fine automobile come in honest and legal form. Finally, who is renting 19-year-olds exotic cars and lavish estates, and why didn’t we know about them before this?
