But wait, was the car rented or stolen?

When you rent with a stolen credit card, that counts as stealing (I think).

They caught the guy because the OWNER of the $300,000 CAR reported it STOLEN.

That doesn't jibe with the first part of the story which says the teenager RENTED the car for $13,000/day.

The owner probably reported the car stolen as soon as he found out the credit card was no good.

Would a private citizen rent a $300,000 car if it was his own? What kind of insurance would he have to carry? Presumably, somebody would have noticed that the guy renting the car -- he had to have a driver's license in addition to the stolen credit card, right? -- was a teenager.

Incredible malfeasance on somebody's part.

If it was an "exotic car rentals" business that rented the car it makes it that much worse.
