FORT COLLINS, Colo., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Employees at a Colorado Jaguar dealership tackled a would-be thief and bound him with extension cords.

After the man entered the Jaguar of Livermore dealership last week and demanded the keys to an $85,000 convertible, four employees leapt into action, MediaNews reported.

Salesman John Salazar grabbed the man, who appeared to have a concealed gun, and three of Salazar's co-workers helped tie him up.

Bound and helpless, the suspect reportedly admitted he may have tried to rob the wrong dealership.

"He said he should have gone to the Ferrari dealership," Salazar said.

Police said they found cash in the car the man had driven to the dealership, and the money was linked to a recent robbery at a check-cashing store, MediaNews said.
