A KITT car—the vehicle originally made popular during the 1980s television series Knight Rider—was stolen during a free public event outside Union Station today. A video posted on YouTube this afternoon shows footage of a man running towards the car after a driver positioned it for a stunt performance. The man jumped into the driver's seat and sped off, heading east along Front Street.
A Canwest employee confirmed the auto theft in an email. The car made several appearances—sponsored by E! and Canwest Broadcasting—around town this week to promote the new Knight Rider series that debuts later this month.
The theft could, of course, be part of the stunt; when we called the Toronto police, the officer we spoke to could not confirm that the car had been stolen.
