Ravesh Rabindranauth tries to steal Julio Solano’s Corvette only to get stuck in car as video shows would be car thief pleading with Miami Beach car owner to set him free.
‘Can I get out?’ A would be car thief in Florida pleaded with a Corvette owner to help him out of the luxury sports vehicle — after the 33 year old breaking into the sports vehicle only to become trapped inside.
Ravesh Rabindranauth, 33, was arrested on burglary charges Monday morning when car owner Julio Solano came across the would-be thief in the driver’s seat while heading to his car at a Miami Beach parking garage after returning from breakfast, Local 10 reported.
When he approached the vehicle, Solano said, he saw a head ‘pop out’ from the driver’s seat, shocking him, with the car owner beginning to record.
‘Can I get out?’
‘My brother, this is not your car, this is my car,’ Solano is heard saying to Rabindranauth, who begins begging him to let him out of the Corvette.
‘Can I get out?’ the failed carjacker brazenly asks.
‘No, you can’t get out. We’re calling the cops,’ Solano sternly tells him.
‘For what?’ Rabindranauth asks incredulously.
‘What do you mean for what?’ an equally incredulous Solano replies.
Rabindranauth was later seen being ordered out of the sports car by Miami Beach police officers, demanding he lie flat on the ground before arresting him.
While it remained unclear how Rabindranauth got into Solano’s Corvette, the car owner believes the car’s security system prevented the would be car thief from starting or exiting the vehicle.
‘The car’s electrical components don’t function without the keys, and fortunately, he didn’t know about the manual door release under the seat,’ Solano told Local 10.
Investigators told Local 10 that Solano warned exotic car rental company Premiere Auto Miami 1 — which stores similar vehicles in the garage — of the incident.
‘Just be alert…’
‘Just be alert, you know when you’re getting in and out of your car, be vigilant, be alert of your surroundings,’ Solano shared.
Records obtained by Local 10 show that Rabindranauth, originally from New York, has no local criminal history or outstanding warrants.
He is facing one count of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $2,500 bond.
