More like Shoplifting of Ecstasy
by CarolineToday’s Jim Mateja column (which unfortunately isn’t online yet) reviews some good-looking Bentley and then compares it to the classic Rolls Royce Phantom, the line’s most iconic vehicle with its equally iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
One of the pieces of trivia Mateja reveals about the Phantom filled me with absurd joy at the expense of wealthy people: Apparently so many people steal the Spirit of Ecstasy that the newest model has a built-in security system to hide it inside the hood when it’s under threat of theft. How the hell this could possibly work? Well, I have no idea at all.
