Parking your go-fast machine in one of the world's supercar capital should be a safe experience. After all, places like Cannes are used to having a dense supercar population, so people know how to respect these machines, right?
Well, things aren't exactly that simple in the real world. In fact, the more attention your vehicle draws, the higher the chances of somebody sitting on it. And while these acts don't necessarily qualify as vandalism, the fact that people use other people's supercars as furniture is still a problem, even if the aim is to take photos.

And a recent example of the sort comes from Cannes (we didn't use the French city by mistake in the intro). That's where a Bugatti Chiron recently became an attention seeker's chaise longue.

As you'll be able to notice in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, the man in question doesn't just settle for taking a picture next to a Molsheim machine that doesn't belong to him. Oh no. Instead, he climbs all over the 1,500 hp animal, as if aiming for a proper photo shoot.

Fortunately for the health of these machines' paint, the past few years have seen PPF (Paint Protection Film) becoming a trend. Frankly, we can't imagine a hypercar owner who would gift his toy with a second skin these days.

The clip documenting the shenanigan also shows the car rolling through Cannes before the said episode. - this Bug packs a bit of a Panda theme, mixing black (this is actually visible carbon fiber) and white, albeit with blue details, all for a stunning look.

Oh, and we have to mention that the plates are just as special as the vehicle. This Chiron is registered in Dubai, where the rule is simple: the more basic the plate (this here is a single-digit one, so it's close to the top), the cooler and more expensive.
