Earlier, in the so-called by the media “Panamera Gate”, the thieves used suction cups to extract the headlights from Porsche Panamera’s in order to use the light and the heat for growing… weed. Now it seems that the thieves are looking for the same purpose, but the process is much harmful for the cars.
