LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (CBS12) A routine vehicle shipment took a wild turn when a Lehigh Acres man was arrested after deputies say he ditched his own car and took a customers brand-new 2026 Porsche for a spin instead of delivering it to the Midwest.
The Lee County Sheriffs Office says the victim hired a transport company to ship his Porsche and two Honda scooters to Michigan on March 18. But two days laterdespite the company claiming the delivery crew had been stopped by policethe victim noticed live tracking updates showing something unsettling: his Porsche wasnt sitting in a trailer. It was moving.
Deputies with the 2nd Precinct said they tracked the luxury car to the DMV in Lehigh Acres, where they found the hired driver, Alfonso Estrada Avila, behind the wheel. Estrada Avila reportedly told deputies he pulled the Porsche from the trailer because it was smaller and more convenient than using his own vehicle while trying to renew his drivers license.
Detectives said they later found the trailer and the victims two scooters intact. All three vehicles were returned to their owner.
