Wake up one morning in November, draw the curtains... and come face to face with two supercars planted right in the middle of your garden. It's a scene straight out of a movie, but that's exactly what happened to a resident of Bazemont, in the Yvelines region of France, in late November 2025. Under her windows: a Ferrari F8 Tributo bright red and a Lamborghini Bright blue Huracan STO. Total estimated value: around 750,000 euros. Incredulity quickly gave way to concern. No, it's not a gift from heaven, nor the whim of a secret admirer. The resident called 17. The gendarmes quickly confirmed what the condition of the bodywork had already suggested: the two cars had been through a rough night... and they were stolen.
A meticulously planned night heist
A few hours earlier, several men broke into a garage in Richebourg, specializing in luxury car storage. An alarm was triggered at 1:06 a.m. on the owner's telephone. The thieves broke into a safe with a crowbar and a screwdriver, got their hands on eight keys, badges and equipment, then used a Toyota Yaris as a battering ram to break down the exit door. At 2.12am, the gendarmes were alerted. Too late: two cars had already disappeared. And not just any car. A Ferrari F8 Tributo and a Lamborghini Huracan STO, two exceptional Italian cars.
Ferrari F8 Tributo and Lamborghini Huracan STO
The Ferrari F8 Tributopowered by a 720 hp twin-turbo V8, is one of the last Ferraris with a V8 internal combustion engine without hybridization. Extremely efficient, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, it embodies Maranello's modern know-how.
Opposite her, the Lamborghini Huracan STO plays an entirely different game. Radically inspired by competition, lightened to the extreme, propulsion rather than 4-wheel drive, equipped with a screaming atmospheric V10, it is designed for the racetrack above all else. An uncompromising, rare, spectacular car.
Forced roadblock and end of the run for the 3 suspects
On the roads of the Yvelines region, the escape was short-lived. The thieves broke through a roadblock and crashed into a police car. Surveillance cameras caught them one last time at 2.26am. A few hours later, at around 5.20 a.m., the two supercars were abandoned, heavily damaged, in the garden at Bazemont. The toll was high: around 360,000 euros in repairs. Too damaged to be resold or exploited, they were of no further interest to their captors.
At the garage in Richebourg, investigators from the brigade de recherches comb the scene with a fine-tooth comb. Fingerprints, video surveillance, telephone lines... and even DNA. One of the perpetrators injured himself by breaking a window, leaving behind drops of blood, despite a clumsy attempt to wipe away the traces with hydro-alcoholic gel. The images also show the partial failure of the heist: a man tries to start a Porsche, then a Ferrari 296 GTB, without success, before fleeing on foot.
On January 27, 2026, three men aged between 20 and 25 were arrested. In police custody, they all admitted to the facts. One of them explained that he had responded to an online ad offering the theft for 3,000 euros, due to serious financial difficulties. Presented at the Versailles court, they asked for time to prepare their defense. The trial is set for March 25, 2026. In the meantime, the court ordered their immediate incarceration, deeming the risk of repetition to be real. One faces up to 20 years in prison, the other two up to 10 years.
For the resident of Bazemont, the memory of waking up to two icons of Italian motoring stranded in her garden will remain with her for a long time to come. Behind the spectacular image, the case is above all a reminder of the reality of prestige car thefts, which are becoming more and more frequent, more and more targeted, and the colossal damage they leave behind them...
