Limited Edition Ferrari 458 Italia Stolen From Dealership

A limited-edition Ferrari 458 Italia, said to be the only one of its kind in the UK, has been stolen from a dealership in Surrey. The local police said that it was parked at the rear of the premises of the Maranello garage when the thieves struck.

The CCTV footage showed two men getting into the dealership and the Ferrari being loaded onto a flatbed-type vehicle. They managed to cut through the security poles, and the Italian sports car onto the truck. Before they left the scene, they covered the sports car with a sheet. The police assumes a “planned and well organised” crime.

The 232,850 pound Ferrari has an Italian flag racing stripe running through its center and the Italian flag sewn into the seats, which makes it quite unique.

Axe-Wielding Maniac Destroys Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Reports have surfaced about a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti that got destroyed over the weekend at a Scottish Ferrari dealership. How did it get destroyed? By an axe-wielding maniac apparently! 

It appears that a man got into the Graypaul Ferrari garage in Fort Kinnaird near Edinburgh and proceeded to smash the windows of the supercar with an axe. After causing around £40,000 worth of damage, the man slashed the tyres and fled the scene. The entire act was caught on CCTV.

The car belonged to Rajinder Singh, a property developer from Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire who booked the car in to get a pump fixed. The Daily Record quotes him as saying:

It is bad enough that this has happened but the garage have been useless. The whole thing is a bad joke. I gave the garage a car worth more than £200,000 and they give me back a car that is effectively written off. The police asked me if there could be anyone who has a grudge against me but the garage is miles from my home. No one would have known it was my car. The police say they have ­investigated, got no leads and say there’s nothing else they can do.
