A pair of burglars attempted to steal a £200,000 Ferrari but had to abandon the supercar opposite the driveway after they couldn't figure out how to get it in drive.

During an evening raid on Tuesday February 19 masked thieves smashed through the front door to a home in Streetly, West Midlands.

CCTV footage shows a stolen Audi being filled with designer bags, a suitcase, watches and jewellery taken from inside the family home.

However they men return moments later when they discovered the keys to a Ferrari 488, worth around £200,000, in one of the bags.

Although managing to reverse the grey Italian sports car off the driveway - the pair could not get the automatic gearbox into 'drive' mode.

The dopey crooks then abandoned the luxury car on the opposite side of the road.

Mother-of-two Toni-Leigh Evans, 27, who is also seven-and-a-half-months pregnant, explained how her neighbour called her husband to tell them about the theft.

She said: 'We were out at my nan's and a neighbour rang my husband and said 'don't panic', but your Ferrari is on the opposite side of the road and the front glass is smashed in by your front door.

'My husband and I left the children at my nan's and came back. They [the men] tried to get in the front door and couldn't as we have anti-theft locks.

'They then smashed the glass completely out to the side of the door with a loose slab and climbed through.

'My husband normally carries the spare key with him but he had left it in a bag at home.

'They found the key in the bag and came back and reversed the car off the drive but then the silly t***s couldn't figure out how to get it in drive.'

Mrs Evans added that all of the family's designer bags, suitcases, watches and jewellery was taken in the raid.

The Ferrari wasn't the only thing the bungling thieves left behind – they also deposited some vital evidence.

Mrs Evans, who husband runs a clothing firm, said: 'The police came and went through all the CCTV.

'Forensics came in 20 minutes. They found some blood and said they will let us know if they find anything.

'Luckily we weren't in. I don't think they'd have cared if we were. To be honest I am surprised I haven't cried and gone into stress labour.

'I am glad the kids weren't here. We are never going to put the kids back in this house.

'We are not sleeping here again and we are looking for somewhere else. We only rent the property. We want to go out of the house and feel safe again.'

West Midlands Police confirmed they were investigating the incident.

A spokeswoman for the force said: 'Police are investigating a burglary at a property in Streetly just before 6.30pm on Tuesday February 19, where a number of handbags and jewellery items were taken.

'An attempt was also made to steal a grey Ferrari but the offenders abandoned it in the middle of the road.
