A $460,000 Audi race car owned by British Touring Car Championship team Power Maxed Racing was stolen from a locked, secured lot at London's Excel exhibition center. The car sat inside a trailer when thieves took it overnight.
Team principal Adam Weaver received a FaceTime call from someone displaying the stolen Audi and attempting to negotiate a ransom for its return. Weaver told the caller he needed time to organize cash and consider the demand.
Police located both the car and trailer the same day, about 10 minutes from where they were stolen, still within London. Power Maxed Racing had offered a £25,000 (roughly $33,000) reward for the car's return before police recovered it.
The report does not state whether anyone was arrested, if the car or trailer sustained damage, or the thieves' identities.
