An idiot who ran over the roof of a Lamborghini has been caught after
friends circulated an incriminating video via Bluetooth in a pub. The video
footage seems to have subsequently disappeared from Youtube. A Norfolk man,
Frankie Hulme, has been caught after video footage of him running across the
roof of a Lamborghini was sent by mistake via Bluetooth to an employee of the
car's owner. The recipient, Matt Drake, was shocked to recognise the yellow
sportscar when he played the clip back. The culprit has been fined for doing
about £20,000 worth of damage. The video – which is still on photobucket.com –
had been posted on Youtube under the heading "twat running over Limbo in Dereham".
But it seems to have been taken down by Youtube. Watching the video it appears
that more than one of his friends was filming the event using their cameraphones.
The practice is popularly known as 'happy slapping'. It does, however,
illustrate the dangers of randomly exchanging files via Bluetooth. The most
exciting unsolicited clip Mobile software Insight has received via
Bluetooth to date turned out to be an advert from O2.
