A PORSCHE Boxster rolled out of Bournemouth’s Royal Bath Hotel and smashed through the wall of a council car park.
The sportscar was left with numerous scrapes and dents and a broken front right bumper after yesterday’s mishap.
The car, which costs around £35,000 to buy new, was left stuck balanced on the wall’s bottom layer, surrounded by broken bits of stone.
A man had parked the four-year-old car outside for the hotel’s valets at around 4pm.
But the car rolled diagonally downhill across Exeter Road.
Marin Svikis, 24, a hotel concierge, said: “He gave me the keys but it started to move forward and I was running after the car trying to jump in.
“I tried to grab it by the handle but it was more than one tonne and there was nothing I could do.
“I was in the middle of the road. A white car nearly drove into me. It just stopped in time.
“The man stood there with his head bowed – he was shocked, that’s for sure. He said ‘I don’t know what to do’. He bought it new four years ago.”
