Santa Anna police arrested Israle Perez Rengel on Nov. 11. He’s pleaded not guitly to car theft. Authorities say the 458 Spider was brought into a Costa Mesa service center, but stolen in October after a worker left the key on the passenger seat. Security video showed a man in a Ferrari jacket walking onto the lot and taking the car. Two weeks later, the car showed up at a Santa Ana Mobile Station where Rangel was asking for gas money. The car was all but trashed. Rangel fled the scene but was found in some bushes a short while later.
