YouTuber turned detective to reveal the truth behind abandoned Lamborghini Aventador in Hollywood

Scooby Doo has nothing on this YouTuber who wanted to uncover the truth about an abandoned Lamborghini Aventador he found in Hollywood, California, in the US.

It wasn’t the only car he found in the Hollywood Hills.

As well as the abandoned Lamborghini, he also discovered a Ferrari, and a classic Dodge Charger restomod.

Now, he’s turning detective to find out how the supercar came to be there.

The abandoned cars

Gordon, who hosts the Effspot channel on YouTube, is perhaps best known for his global car content.

In fact, this vlog actually began with him rolling down Rodeo Drive for the Father’s Day Concourse.

However, it’s as they head through the Hollywood Hills that they spot the neglected vehicles.

The trio of abandoned cars is sitting outside an empty house.

There’s a Ferrari F430 Spider and a restomod Dodge Charger gathering dust there.

However, it’s the third car, a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster with the top off and dust covering the interior, that really piqued his interest.

It’s certainly not the first one found abandoned – like this one in the Asian rainforest.

These guys in Vietnam even built a Lamborghini Aventador from old bicycles.

The Lamborghini Aventador

At first, they believed the owner moved house or passed away.

However, an eagle-eyed Gordon noticed clear side markers and specs that only come with European Lamborghini models.

He decides to write down the VIN so he can find out more via Google.

When he types it into the search engine it comes up with nothing.

This is actually more of a red flag, considering a VIN will usually through up some information.

It’s worth noting that when anyone buys a Lamborghini Aventador it has a secret feature specific to the driver.

After getting access to a Lamborghini VIN decoder, the team started to believe that the Lamborghini Aventador was the same supercar that had been stolen in New York in 2015.

This happened before the unnamed owner could insure it after it was imported.

Instead of going to the police, they offered a $100,000 reward for its recovery.

While they consider various scenarios, including potential VIN swapping or illegal importation, the truth remains shrouded in mystery.
