Gerhard Berger's Ferrari Found in London After 28-Year Theft Mystery
March 4, 2024
Scotland Yard recovered Gerhard Berger's red Ferrari F512M, stolen in 1995, valued over 400,000 Euros.
The car, missing for 28 years since the San Marino Grand Prix heist, was intercepted in London before heading to Japan.
International collaboration between police and car dealerships was key in tracing the vehicle's journey from Japan to the UK in late 2023.
Ownership of the recovered Ferrari F512M, whether it returns to Berger or remains with Ferrari, is currently undetermined.
Use of Apple AirTags by thieves to track high-end cars has been noted, though no arrests have been made in this case.
A second stolen Ferrari, Alesi's Ferrari F355, remains unaccounted for.
