A Ferrari SF90 Spider Hybrid that was stolen in Oregon was discovered parked on the street just six blocks away from when it was taken.
The owner of the 2023 Ferrari SF90 called Portland Police on the afternoon of Thursday, December 19 to report his car stolen.
The $900,000 vehicle was taken from near Northwest 10th Avenue and Northwest Lovejoy Street.
The owner was able to keep tabs on the car’s whereabouts thanks to its tracking system, which led to its return.

The Ferrari SF90 was stolen in broad daylight
Sadly, car theft is all too common, so it’s always heartening when we see stories of victims being reunited with their cars – like this man who refused to give up searching for his stolen 1967 Mustang, or this family who got their beloved 1973 Chevy Corvette back thanks to an online tipster.
In the case of this Ferrari SF90, the owner was able to track the vehicle and keep cops updated on its whereabouts.
He told officers that the car was on Northwest 16th Avenue and Northwest Kearney Street – just six blocks from where it was taken.
The police officer on the line was able to pass this information on to a colleague who was out on patrol in that area.
The $900k car was found and returned to its owner
The cops soon spotted the stunning Ferrari parked on the roadside about seven minutes walk from where it was stolen.
A couple of people who were seen walking nearby were identified as suspects and one man was arrested.
“Officers gathered information that two possible suspects had walked away from the parked vehicle, and the officers quickly caught up with them at Northwest 15th Avenue and Northwest Lovejoy Street,” Portland Police said in a statement.
“One man was determined to be the suspect who took the car and he was arrested.”
He was arrested on charges of unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of a stolen vehicle – he also had a previous warrant.
Following the arrest, the Ferrari was returned to its rightful owner.
Luckily, it had sustained no damage during the theft.
