Florida Man Hops on Scooter to Chase After Stolen Lamborghini

Owner reunited with Urus

When a 14-year-old boy tried to steal a $200,000 Lamborghini, the luxury SUV’s owner hopped on a scooter to chase after the culprit who’d stolen his prized possession.

Chris Sander told WSVN he was at his home in Miami Beach Tuesday night when he heard the sound of his Lamborghini Urus’ engine roaring.

“It’s just a straight hustle. Police going everywhere,” he said. “I’m in my home. I hear this thing start up. I look out the window and I see somebody driving it away. I got on the scooter, went after the guy.”

The station reports that the boy who stole the Lamborghini abandoned the vehicle on a sidewalk a few blocks away and took off.

The only way a scooter catches that car.

Wonder if the scooter was a Vespa 300. They are cool and fast.

I’m betting the car was stick shift, and the kid probably couldn’t drive stick very well.

White boy, broke into garage and found keys, because dumb owner leaves them where thieves can find them.

If I was to purchase a $200k Lambo, I would not accept delivery without a multi-factor “kill switch”, one of which being proximity oriented.

Sometimes, car thieves don’t know how to drive.

(That’s also the punch line to a certain ethnic joke that I won’t repeat here).

I’ve seen Detective Riggs run down cars on the Lethal Weapon movies.

Yeah I put a kill switch in my Boss. One night hoods try to hotwire it. Couldn’t. So they broke all the windows and cut up the interior. Two weeks later, find out it’s my neighbor kid.

This stuff always reminds me of the James Bond car with the sticker that says this car is 100% theft-proof. Car thief tries picking thelock and the car blows up. :D

I seem to recall news stories that people driving this sort of car for the first time are quick to wreck it.

No supercar comes with manual transmission now.

It’s a rebadged Audi.

The urus, as Just about all cars, had an app that the owner could have stopped it and tracked it. Normal car owners like us can’t ask onstar to help when our cars are stolen, but they can because they’re special.

All in all, this is a hoax. It was a YouTube video and sensationalist article meant to get attention.

None of this is real.
