While thefts of supercars are not uncommon worldwide, stealing a high-value car like the Ferrari 812 GTS is a rare occurrence, and thieves usually steer clear due to the high risk of detection. However, a daring theft of a Ferrari 812 GTS in Greenwich, UK, has captured media attention for an unusual reason.
The thieves thought they had pulled off a clean job, making off with the $575,000 Ferrari 812 GTS without a trace. Little did they know that a pair of the owner’s forgotten AirPods would be their undoing.
