FORKLIFTS move all sorts of things — wheat, barrels, old crates — but is a $110,000 Maserati an old crate?

A building worker in Sydney's Billyard Avenue, in Elizabeth Bay, evidently thought so yesterday when he found the dark blue sports car parked in a construction zone and decided to move it.

The SMS Construction employee hoisted the car two metres into the air before it flipped off the forks and crashed on its roof.
