DIVERS DISCOVER PORSCHE IN LAKE
A stolen 1989 Porsche Sporster belonging to Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage has been found in 4 metres of water in a Missouri lake.
Divers from the Missouri Water Patrol came across the $100,000 car after an anonymous tip-off. The rare Porsche is a collector's item. It was being transported by trailer from California to Pennsylvania to be auctioned when it went missing on Christmas Day from a parking lot. A 19-year-old man has been charged with the theft.
The Porsche had only 100 miles on its mileometer. "Its amazing how much damage an extra 12 feet can do" commented a police spokesperson.
