Police in the UK were appealing to the public for assistance in a baffling yet brazen Ferrari theft. Thieves managed to steal a limited edition Ferrari 458 Italia from a Maranello showroom in Egham. The heist was described as “movie-style” and it was captured on CCTV! So far, a 36-year old man has been arrested and details are still emerging.
£230,000 Ferrari theft caught on CCTV left more questions than answers for local authorities.
The cameras captured two men driving up to the dealership, where they proceeded to spend a leisurely 20 minutes slicing through security bars. Once through the bars, the guys loaded the Ferrari onto a trailer and covered it with a sheet before driving off. A week after the well-organized theft, authorities were left reaching out to the public for information.

The 458 Italia is the only car of its kind in the UK. It features a black exterior with an Italian flag racing strip running the length of the vehicle. There are also Italian flags sewn into the seats.
Authorities issued several statements, including:
“The stolen Ferrari is a distinctive car so I am keen to hear from anyone who may have seen it, perhaps on the back of another vehicle, either in the local area or elsewhere.” 
The Ferrari 458 is a very special specimen. It boasts technology from the team’s Formula One racing cars and an extreme overall design. Once stolen, it could be a challenge to unload based on rarity alone! What do you think will happen with this case? Comment below!
