Police believe that a $120,000-2009 Bentley GT stolen from a property on the fancy Brazilian Avenue was used by the suspect to commit a murder across the bridge in West Palm Beach.

A shooting about 1 a.m. Saturday at the corner of 41st and Spruce streets took the life of a yet-t0-be identified man whose age was estimated between 20 and 30.

Later that morning, cops recovered the Bentley in nearby Riviera Beach without as much as a scratch but now suspect it was used in the shooting.

It appears the car, owned by car collector Peter Heydon according to a police report, was stolen either late Friday or early Saturday from a neighbor’s open garage. The keys of the unlocked  car may have been in the center console.

Heydon couldn’t be contacted.

The property where the car was taken from is owned by well-known Realtor Earl Hollis, who didn’t return call for comment.

    Now that is funny. Maybe the same guys were driving John Goodmans Bently when the gas pedal got stuck.
