Naughty pranks sometimes reap the best rewards.
Johnny Depp employed the cast of Velocity's Overhaulin' to prank his wife Amber Heard into believing her beloved 1968 Mustang had been stolen for the third time, when in reality, it was just getting a sweet makeover.
In a special sneak peek of the show, shared by Et, the actress got all worked up when "police officers" failed to look for her "stolen" vehicle and instead took unwarranted selfies with her and Depp.
"Get my car back!" Heard yelled at the officers, who were really host Chris Jacobs and famed custom car designer Chip Foose in disguise.
