A London thief called an idiot by a judge for stealing a car and driving it to a police station now faces a jail term for failing to turn up to court.
Last month Mohammed Zaman, 22, of West India Dock Road, Limehouse, admitted stealing the Toyota last June.
Judge Paul Dodgson told Zaman: "Frankly you are an idiot" but said it was unlikely he would be jailed.
But after Zaman did not turn up at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday a warrant was issued for his arrest.
After waiting 90 minutes for his arrival, fellow judge Christopher Elwen decided he had no option but to issue a "warrant not backed for bail".
"After all he lives...just over in east London and could have walked here by now," he said.
