The owner of Bugatti had his Bugatti stolen
Mate Rimac's Bugatti Chiron was stolen right from the company's lot.
Bugatti owner Mate Rimac learned a valuable lesson after his $3.3 million Bugatti Chiron was stolen from the company factory in Croatia. Rimac, the founder and CEO of Rimac Group, had the habit of leaving the keys inside the rare vehicle while parked at the factory. However, on October 29, his luxurious car was missing. Rimac and his employees discovered the theft when they checked the vehicle's telemetry data, which tracks location, speed, fuel level, and more.
The thief managed to evade authorities at a gas station before driving the stolen car from Croatia into Slovenia. With the assistance of police from both countries, the thief was eventually apprehended. The suspect, a man in his mid-30s, claimed he found the keys inside the Bugatti while attempting to visit Rimac Group's factory to potentially secure employment.
Initially, the thief planned to drive the stolen vehicle to Germany for unknown reasons. Luckily, Rimac was able to retrieve his prized possession, and he now vows not to leave his keys inside his vehicle again.
