What to do with a stolen Ferrari??

A wealthy Aussie, Nathan Tinkler, just had his Ferrari California stolen from his garage while he and his family were sleeping.

What would the thieves do with it? Burn it of course!! $500,000 worth in our country - apparently only 1 of 5.

Mr Tinkler is Australia's richest under 40yr old, worth AU$920M. I doubt that $500k would bother him.

LOL! Nope...just a Mustang, and that is one feature I like about it. I'm done with "look at this" rare & collectable cars. I've miffed a few on the Bullitt board by saying there is nothing rare about them.

That doen't mean they aren't nice drivers, though.

given the reputation of new ferraris, I am guessing that it caught fire on it's own and not from something the thieves did. (though parking it over dry grass couldn't have helped)

1 of 5 in Aus apparently - this is according to the local news. I have no idea how many actually came out of the factory.

We prefer Porsches in Aus anyway.....
