Little Brother is Watching You

Remember the Swedish videogame executive who crashed his rare Ferrari Enzo on a California Highway, then tried to pretend someone else was driving? This guy's luck continues to fade faster than that supercar was traveling when it hit a tree. Another of Stefan Eriksson's "collection" was impounded when his wife, Nicole Persson, 33, was stopped by police on the corner of Beverly Drive and Wilshire Boulevard because an officer found the $400,000 SLR McLaren's European license plate suspicious. What's worse, the officer then discovered that Persson lacked a driver's license and the car was not registered in the United States. According to Scotland Yard the car was "perhaps stolen" out of the United Kingdom; police say the Enzo is owned by a financial institution in Scotland. The entire incident was caught on tape by a 13-year-old exotic car buff who has filmed Eriksson's vehicles in the past.
