Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios helps police foil the theft of his car, a Tesla. The thief threatened Norlaila Kyrgios, the tennis player's mother, by pointing a gun at her. He entered the house with his face covered by a mask, dressed completely in black, ordered her to give him the keys to the Tesla Model X parked in the driveway, then demanded that the woman "teach" her to turn on and drive the car. The frightened woman screamed loudly invoking the help of her son who owns the car.
Kyrgios immediately called the police and used the Tesla app to track the car's location and remotely set the speed limiter. The thief's escape lasted only 15 minutes, the police tracked down the man, still behind the wheel of the Tesla. Details of the story emerge from the file of the trial held in Canberra against the 32-year-old man accused of aggravated theft and resisting a public official.
