Police in Memphis, Tennessee are looking for two suspects who stole a 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 at gunpoint last week only to returned it the next day.

The victim told officers that two men walked up to him in his Parkrose Ave. driveway on November 9 and pointed a gun at him, according to the Memphis Police Department on Facebook. After that, the guy did the smart thing and ran away, and the two suspects drove off in the 15-year-old Benz. It was a pretty standard car jacking through that point, but the next day things got weird. I don’t know if it was a change of heart or the guys just didn’t need the car anymore, but they brought the damn thing back and parked it right in the victim’s driveway like nothing ever happened, the post says. This is absolutely bizarre – and sort of hilarious – behavior.
