A theft straight out of a Hollywood script played out in Miami over the weekend when criminals broke into a residence, making off with a luxurious Ferrari Spider. The owner, a social media influencer with millions of followers, tried to thwart the crime with his shouts.
According to a report by Telemundo 51, the incident happened at approximately 4:00 a.m. on Saturday. Police responded to a call reporting a break-in at a city home. Authorities revealed that two men, dressed entirely in black, gained access to the garage and stole a black Ferrari F8 Spider.
The situation, initially appearing to be yet another high-end car theft in South Florida, gained viral attention when TikTok content creator @jcandsondraa, with over 12 million followers, shared a video claiming the stolen Ferrari was his own.
"Guys, they took our Ferrari. This is not a joke," he stated in the video shared online. "They were going to take the G-Wagon too, but I managed to shout."
The influencer detailed that the thieves weren't just after the Ferrari but also attempted to steal his Mercedes G-Wagon, a luxury vehicle often linked to public figures in Miami.
"Around four in the morning, they broke into the house. They were going to take the G-Wagon. They couldn't because I shouted, but they took it away," he recounted.
Telemundo 51 reported that security camera footage captured one suspect inside the stolen Ferrari, while another was seen inside the G-Wagon parked at the property. However, the second suspect exited and fled on foot.

He also mentioned that the thieves were traveling in a vehicle resembling a white Mercedes, possibly a CLA 250, with black rims.
