In a supercar heist story straight out of an Ocean’s movie, a 2016 Lamborghini Huracán was stolen from its parking spot in a fancy neighborhood of Memphis, US.

The Italian supercar vanished without a trace.

It wasn’t gone for long, however.

It turned up just days later in an unexpected location that raised more than a few eyebrows.

The stolen Lamborghini Huracán vanished

The theft, which happened last November, seemed like a calculated operation.

Grainy surveillance footage captured a second car shadowing the Huracán ahead of it being snatched.

It had been parked at the corner of South Cooper Street and Young Avenue of the city.

Surveillance footage captured blurred images of a white vehicle, likely a Nissan, parked adjacent to the supercar.

Both vehicles departed the scene, heading north on South Cooper Street shortly after.

Not all lawbreakers are so lucky, however, the driver of a speeding Lamborghini Huracán Evo Spyder in the UK had an unusual excuse but the supercar was still fined and the car seized.

Back in the US and, despite a public appeal for information, the Memphis police had no charges filed at the time of writing.

However, if the thieves thought the eye-catching supercar could blend into the surroundings of a middle-class neighborhood – they were in for a rude awakening.

Having a getaway vehicle with a V10 and stunning looks that roar ‘luxury’ even louder is anything but inconspicuous.

It was just days later that the stolen supercar was discovered.

The supercar was found in an unexpected neighborhood

Authorities recovered the Huracán that was parked somewhat nonchalantly on Railton Road.

The neighborhood was a far cry from the Lamborghini showroom where it once stood as well as the boujie neighborhood it was taken from that boasts an Asian bistro, a modern art gallery, and a soap shop.

Not unlike this Lamborghini Huracán Performante mysteriously discovered in a Canadian parking lot.

Questions have been raised about why the car was abandoned in a residential area and whether, like Clooney and the gang’s antics, this was part of a larger criminal plot.
