Bungling thief caught after stealing hire car's steering wheel

A DIM-WITTED criminal has been convicted of theft after stealing parts of a brand new Audi A3 hire car and replacing them with old bits taken from his much older Audi S3.

Perhaps it was a decision by the same department that decided that the Outlander should be a crossover instead of an SUV?
