One very frustrated British motorist was so determined to get his car back after it was hoisted on a tow truck that he leaped inside and reversed off the platform!

No one ever likes to see his or her car towed anytime, anywhere, but we’ve never seen anything like this.

The man preferred to risk far more costly damages to his silver Vauxhall Astra than what he would have paid for parking fine to avoid the inconvenience of getting it back from the pound.

He actually managed to get away as efforts to find the driver and the car have proven fruitless.

A police spokesman from Walthamstow, east London, told the Daily Mail that they were no longer involved in the case ” as it was considered to be a civil matter”.

Tip of the hat to Gus!
