$160K Lamborghini Stolen After Atlanta Auto Show

Lamborghinis are undoubtedly very appealing cars and only a few people in the world can actually say they've never dreamed of buying one. Unfortunately, buying a Lamborghini remains a dream for most of us unless we're going to win the lottery so the only solution remains... to steal one?! At least, this is what some men in Jackson, Miss. believed when they stole a $160,000 Lamborghini from a Walmart parking lot.

The whole story is pretty simple and you'll understand in a minute that stealing a car isn't such a big deal, no matter if we're talking about Tata Nano or Lamborghini. The Lambo was on display at the Atlanta Auto Show and was then transported to its owners in South Louisiana, as WSB Atlanta reports.

The driver stopped on Monday evening in a parking lot on Highway 18 when he was surround by a group of unidentified men who stole his truck, together with the Lamborghini.

Don't start crying, this story has a happy ending because after a few hours police officers managed to find the truck. Don't worry because we haven't mentioned something about the Lambo, the car was recovered too. The only sad thing is that the sports car was damaged, with estimates pointing to about $23,000.

Of course, nobody knows who's responsible for the auto theft, but if we were the ones driving the truck, we swear we would have never stopped until we reached the destination. Or, if we were the thieves, we would have never returned the beast to its owner. It's just love at first sight...
