This Nashville man was told he should run for the hills when he went to check out an abandoned car collection in LA. 

YouTuber Harrison Nevel traveled 2,000 miles to the Hollywood Hills to get a closer look at the collection of supercars and what he found left him speechless. 

From Ferraris to Rolls-Royce models and even a Lamborghini Aventador, he discovered millions of dollars worth of cars left to collect dust on the side of the road. 

But when he discovered who owned the collection, he was warned he should ‘run away’.

Abandoned car collection

Walking towards the collection, Harrison Nevel said ‘this is what you see first’ pointing to a Bentley parked on the street next to a couple of garbage cans. 

“This looks like a Bentley Mulsanne, and look at the suspension, it’s cooked,” he said. 

Next to the Bentley was a Ferrari and a Rolls-Royce, all parked on the side of the road with no protection from the elements.

“These haven’t been touched in like six years, the Ferrari logo’s coming off right there, I mean look at that, that’s crazy,” he said. 

Taking a closer look at the Ferrari convertible, he pointed out that it had blacked-out taillights, flat tires, and no license plate, further proving it was out of commission. 

In front of the house, which had a boarded-up door suggesting no one was living there, sat a supercar Nevel suspected was a Lamborghini Aventador

It was the only car with a protective cover on it. 

Next to that was a Dodge Charger with a broken window covered with a bit of plastic. 

“It’s kind of eerie and creepy that there’s at least a million dollars in cars just sitting here,” he said. 

Warning issued over famous owner

After posting a sneak peek of the collection online, a follower told Nevel they believed the car collection and house were owned by former actor and professional boxer Philip Andre ‘Mickey’ Rourke. 

That discovery prompted a few warnings from followers telling Nevel he should ‘run away because he’s going to come out and beat you up’. 

We’re not sure about that, but we hope whoever does own the cars has a plan for their restoration.
