HOW do you move house whenyou don't have a car?
This was the question facing arepeat disqualified driver lastweek and he came up with anovel but criminal solution to hisdilemma.
Lafaele Ralph Leota, 20, ofManunda, appeared in CairnsMagistrates Court yesterday be-cause he took a Ford Festiva for atest drive from a used-car yard onMulgrave Rd, then used thevehicle to move house.
He ran into trouble when –after leaving his identificationpapers at the caryard – he failedto return the vehicle and stolesome petrol from a servicestation.
Described as having an ™ex-treme fascination with cars ,Leota already has been sentencedto jail more than once fordisqualified driving.
He found himself facing thesame fate yesterday when Magis-trate Trevor Black sentenced himto a total of nine months' jail –six months for the latest offencesand three months of a suspendedjail sentence which had beenhanging over his head.
™You're a young man andunless you overcome this fascina-tion with motor vehicles you willspend a considerable period ofyour life in prison, Mr Blacksaid.
Defence solicitor Rowan Silvasaid Leota was bound to getcaught.
™He had provided full identifi-cation to the caryard owners . . .the same could almost be saidabout the fuel offence . . . as hedid it in full view of the securitycameras and went into the shopand said that he could not pay,Mr Silva said.
™It is almost a funny situationwhere he made no attempts toconceal his identity he's still notquite sure why he did it or thereasoning behind it.

St Mary's College graduateNicholas Mehan resisted the
temptation to log onto theInternet to see his score at theweekend, waiting instead foryesterday's mail.
Both Nicholas and fellowSt Mary's student Jarryd Plareceived OP1s.
™I was pretty happy to get aone, and a bit relieved I guessas a lot of my friends hadalready looked at their scoreson the Internet, he said.

Donna will know in Janu-ary if she has been successfulin obtaining one of 20scholarships to study environ-mental engineering at theQueensland University ofTechnology in Brisbane.
