FBI Agent Wrecks $750,000 Ferrari

There are certain perks that come with every job.

Some people get to put an extra meal on their expense account; others get free swag. But, if you're an FBI agent, sometimes you get to drive to a Ferrari F50 (there are only 50 of these vehicles in the U.S., which sell for $750K a pop). 

Enter Agent Fred Kingston.

A Ferrari that was stolen from a dealership in 2003 was being held as evidence in an ongoing investigation. When Fred had to move it, he invited a U.S. Attorney's office buddy to tag along, and then promptly crashed the car into a row of bushes and a tree as he was leaving the parking lot.

The crash happened in May 2009, but it's news now because the car's owner (the insurance company that paid the dealer after it was stolen) is suing the feds, trying to get them to pay them for the cost of the car, which was allegedly totaled. The Justice Department says it's not liable. 

No offense to our boys in Federal law enforcement, but that's kind of dick move, no?

Note: A judge will hear the case in federal court next month.
