GULFPORT, Mississippi -- Apparently, he liked the car.

Gulfport police arrested 58-year-old Thomas Robert Dilimone of Sarasota, Fla., Wednesday -- three months after he took a car for a test drive from the Gulfport dealership and never returned.

According to Police Chief Leonard Papania, Dilimone came to Allen Toyota in Gulfport on Aug. 6 to test drive a 2012 Toyota Corolla. He left the dealership around 2 p.m. and never returned.

Police obtained a warrant for Dilimone and entered him in to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC).

On Aug. 15, Dilimone was arrested by the Jefferson Parish (La.) Sheriff's Department while driving the stolen vehicle. Gulfport detectives were notified and Dilimone was ultimately extradited to Mississippi. The warrant was served and Dilimone placed under arrest on a charge of Motor Vehicle Theft.

He is in the Harrison County Adult Detention Center under a $50,000 bond set by Harrison County Justice Court Judge Brandon Ladner.
