With the blessing of the local police, the Ampthill, Bedfordshire man used the wheeled piece of machinery to pick up the Audi A4 and deposit it on the road for pickup.
“If you are going to crash into a farmers field with livestock and cause damage then run from the scene over night leaving the field insecure do not expect your vehicle to be recovered with too much care! Enquiries on-going to trace driver,” the police wrote on Twitter.
According to Farmers Weekly, the car was suspected stolen and later collected by a scrap car recycling company.
Police are still searching for the driver of the Audi.
