LAWRENCE -- A duo of enterprising thieves who took a nearly $150,000 
Porsche for a test drive Monday may have returned that night to steal 
the car after they passed a set of dummy keys to the salesman, police 
said.

The four-door Porsche Panamera was stolen off the lot of Princeton 
Porsche on Route 1 sometime between the test drive and the dealer’s 
opening time Tuesday.

“He took them for a ride, their interaction ended and the next day this 
car was gone,” said Lt. Charles Edgar of the Lawrence Police Department.

A unique feature of the car, in addition to its $148,000 price tag, is 
that it has electronic keys that unlock the doors with one swipe and 
allow the bearer to drive. The car’s ignition is push-button and does 
not require a key, Edgar said.

“It looks like they may have done a switcheroo on the keys of the car,” 
he said.
