Bugatti CEO's Chiron Stolen in Croatia, Recovered After Cross-Border Pursuit
Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac's Bugatti Chiron was stolen from the company's open campus in Croatia after he left the keys inside the car, a routine practice due to frequent employee use. The theft went unnoticed initially until a staff member reported seeing an unfamiliar driver. Rimac tracked the car's real-time location as it crossed into Slovenia and Austria, where Austrian police apprehended the suspect. Rimac is not pressing charges, but authorities in both countries will prosecute the individual.
