Unfortunately, the 21-year-old suspect tried to steal the wrong <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interplextransportation.com\/\">vehicle<\/a> and made one critical error, probably because of the drugs and his altered state of mind, he didn&#8217;t demand the\u00a0owner&#8217;s smartphone. The Tesla owner used the app to turn off the ignition key and lock the carjacker inside the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the police\nofficers arrived on the scene, they found the thief, later identified as\nCharles Smith, sitting in the driver&#8217;s seat without a way to escape. The owner\nobviously opened the vehicle for the officers in order to arrest Smith and it\ndidn&#8217;t take long for the police to notice Smith was acting inadequately. He was\nlater charged with attempted carjacking and for being under the influence of a drug.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2020\/05\/13\/tesla-owner-stop-carjacking-connected-model-3-dumb-thief\/\">electrek.co<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla owner locks Shocked Thief inside a vehicle using a remote app to help cops nab him.
