It’s not everyday that you run into a Mantis Green McLaren 650S Spider and certainly not often that you’ll find one unlocked, unattended and just waiting to be stolen in a desolate parking lot.

YouTuber Joey Salads decided that this could be quite an interesting concept for a public prank and set about filming some would-be McLaren thieves.

So, he and his mates set up the British supercar’s driver seat with the exposed wires from a remote-controlled dog shock collar and watched unsuspecting locals jumping inside the car that was just “waiting to be stolen”.

A McLaren with the key sitting in the center console? Apparently, a number of people couldn’t resist the temptation, took the bait and got in, only to be unpleasantly surprised by a vicious electric shock from the seat.

If it seems too good to be true, then it probably isn’t, folks. Should have known better…
