LONDON -- Police are appealing for information after a man was caught on CCTV slicing through a Porsche in an attempt to steal it.
In the video below, the suspect uses a knife to cut open the roof of a convertible Porsche, climbs through the hole when no one's looking, fails to start it, and then finally gives up and walks away.
The footage was released on Wednesday, but filmed on Tuesday 29 September.
