Texas man finds his stolen Lamborghini in garage thanks to must-have technology

This Texas man found his stolen Lamborghini in a garage thanks to a piece of must-have technology.

There’s not much worse for a car owner than having their vehicle snatched.

But there isn’t much more satisfying than being reunited with that car.

It’s nice when there’s a happy ending to the story.

How the Lamborghini was tracked down

The Lamborghini was taken from a private event in Houston.

However, the supercar had a GPS tracker inside of it which enabled the owner to locate it.

He’d find it in the garage of a man from the town of Sulphur Springs – approximately 150 miles away from where it had been taken.

Outside the address, the owner stood beside the garage and used the car’s fob to activate the horn and lights.

Knowing his car was inside the property, he contacted the police.

The suspect was 34-year-old Everett Van Jennings, who was reportedly out of town at the time.

Despite his absence, the cops got themselves a search warrant and entered the garage.

What the police found in this man’s garage

The Lambo wasn’t the only car that no business being inside the garage, as two other stolen vehicles were also discovered.

Also found was VIN swapping equipment, indicating Jennings was altering the car’s identification numbers.

He’d already made a start on swapping around the Lambo’s VIN plates with another car to hide its identity.

Stealing a car is obviously a crime, but so is switching out a VIN without just cause.

It carries fines up to $1,000 and up to a year in prison in some states.

Jennings was later arrested and put behind bars.

This is far from the first time a car owner has miraculously hunted down their stolen car.

Over in Fresno, California, a man tracked down his Chevrolet Bel Air on the afternoon it disappeared.

In the same city, a Dodge Dart owner had to wait six months to be reunited.
