Mark Dorsey’s patrol car drew stares and finger pointing when he pulled into a gas station parking lot.

“Look at that car” said Mischa Bennett, 45, who lives in the area. “That ain’t even right.”

Dorsey, a 26 year police vet, was driving perhaps the most distinctive, and certainly the tiniest, car in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department fleet. He was driving a 2011 Think City, an all electric vehicle not much bigger than a golf cart.

The car came to the police department as a gift last fall from Elkhart- based Think North America, maker of the electric vehicles. The company, which ended production amid bankruptcy, donated five vehicles to Indianapolis, five to Evansville and five to Fort Wayne after its last production run.
