Akon’s Tesla went out for a joyride with a burglar, but the heist was cut short by technology.

Sources close to Akon tell TMZ a burglar entered the garage Saturday night at his Woodland Hills, CA home, and bolted with his Model S.

It wasn’t tough to lift the luxury ride we’re told the garage door was accidentally left open.

The would-be burglar was foiled though when he parked and the ride’s security system shut it down. The suspect took off, and the Tesla was located a few hours later thanks to its tracking device.

Akon got off better than a string of other celebs hit in a recent burglary spree. Alanis Morissette, Nick Young, Cesar Millan and others have been hit for up to 6 figures.

The singer’s in Dubai right now, but we’re told Akon’s family members filed a police report and it’s under investigation.
