Canadian man parks his fake $2,000,000 Bugatti in hotspot for car theft to see if he can bait out a thief

Trying to bait out car thieves in a hotspot area like fish with a maggot, this man used a fake $2,000,000 Bugatti to entice the crims and set up a watch room to catch ‘suspicious’ approachers.

When you own a car, your worst nightmare would be to come back to the parking bay and realize that it’s no longer there.

Especially if you’re the owner of a Bugatti.

Despite a bunch of anti-theft devices being deployed in supercars of all kinds, this type of crime is still rife, and now one man is on the hunt to catch some ‘foolish’ thieves.

Creating a fake Bugatti Veyron decoy

The plan was simple. YouTube personality Steven Song ordered a fake Bugatti Veyron from Amazon, which, in reality, was not a car at all.

Instead, it was just a foam box with a messy interior. But on the outside, unless you’re a keen Bugatti fan, it would fool most.

Even though there are a number of tells to identify a real Bugatti and a fake one, the YouTuber hoped that in the depths of the night, it could attract the wrong type of attention.

The Bugatti decoy arrived without a handbrake, so the car had to be parked up with rocks under the tires to prevent it from rolling off.

Still, when nighttime came around, these were incognito.

Then, it was time to park it in a theft hotspot, and the YouTuber took up residence in a local hotel for a stakeout.

Would anyone take the bait?

Off the bat, like other fake Bugatti cars, it attracted a lot of funny looks as people began to take pictures of the seemingly $2 million vehicle. But most of this was harmless Instagramming.

Throughout the night, some people become more prudent and even park next to the car to take photos and touch its body.

Despite a range of groups checking out the fake Bugatti, nobody tried to take it.

He even tried a range of decoy devices, such as unlocking it and leaving the doors open, but alas, only a few curious pictures were taken.

Song suggested that some of the groups might have noticed the cameras, or even identified the car as a fake when up close, but the bait remained on the hook.
