Cue creepy music! It's time for another dramatic episode of The F-Files! From Yahoo News:

LOS ANGELES - The Swedish video game entrepreneur involved in the 162-mph crash of a Ferrari has been arrested, accused of grand theft for an unauthorized collection of exotic cars, authorities said.

Detectives concluded that the wrecked Enzo Ferrari--one of only 400 made--along with a Mercedes and another Enzo Ferrari in Stefan Eriksson's collection were actually owned by British financial institutions, said Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Eriksson apparently brought the cars to Los Angeles when he moved from Britain last year, but the financial institutions that held the titles said his payments had lapsed. Authorities have said the $600,000 Mercedes had been reported stolen to London's Scotland Yard. The Ferrari was worth more than $1 million.

All three cars have been confiscated, and Eriksson, 44, was arrested at his Bel-Air home Saturday, Whitmore said.

He is being held without bail because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement put a hold him, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.

I guess the space aliens will be free to implement their secret plan for colonizing the Earth. Eriksson won't be able to stop the mysterious Dietrich, he won't be able to expose the San Gabriel Transportation Agency as the alien's secret base. Poor Eriksson is sitting behind bars now.

At least the space aliens won't be able to use Eriksson's other cars.

Update: There is a few other minor details over at the LA Times.
