Lamborghini Aventador Stolen By Fake Car Shoppers

It’s a sad reality that selling your car online can get you carjacked, either by force or trickery, but we keep seeing cases like this one involving a Lamborghini Aventador stolen in Ontario. Exercising extreme caution with supposedly interested buyers is beyond wise at this point.

Men faked interest in Ferrari to steal it.

After seeing an ad for the Aventador, which looks to be wearing a set of Corse Werks wheels, in Auto Trader a guy supposedly interested in buying it contacted the owner. It’s worth noting that the Lambo was listed for $600,000, says CTV News, so this thief was targeting quite the high-end vehicle.

Perhaps to look the part, the “buyer” showed up with some other guys in a Mercedes-Maybach, the two parties rendezvousing in a public parking lot. In retrospect that was a huge mistake. It might sound ridiculous to some, but we recommend meeting at a police station. Criminals seem to hate pulling into those parking lots, plus there’s tons of surveillance.
