Two men are serving jail time China after stealing a luxury car and taking it for a joyride. The men found the key fob to an Audi left behind on an ATM. When they pressed the fob’s auto-unlock button the car beeped from roughly 200 feet away. Because neither man knew how to drive, they hunkered down at an Internet cafe to learn how to start and drive the vehicle. After an hour or so of cramming, they drove off with the car. They were caught after running a red light.
