Good one!
I'm reminded of Danny DeVito in a movie where he's a slumlord ordered by the court to spend time in his own apartment building. He goes outside the next morning and his new Corvette is nothing but a shell - no tires, no wheels, no stereo, no seats, no nothing. But when he approaches the car the alarm goes off!
Actually, that was Joe Pesci in "The Super". Funny movie.
