In a daring feat of sheer cheekiness and cleverness, a sneaky thief pulled off the ultimate theft, making off with a Rolls Royce faster than it takes to microwave a pack of popcorn.
The luxurious £350,000 (Rs 3,66,79,662) Rolls-Royce Cullinan was stolen at 4.10 am from Aveley town in England’s Essex as the CCTV footage shared on Reddit shows.
Instead of resorting to traditional carjacking techniques or sophisticated hacking gadgets, the thief used a simple wire antenna to exploit a vulnerability in the luxury vehicle’s security system. By amplifying the signal emitted by the key fob inside the owner’s residence, the thief successfully unlocked the vehicle and initiated its ignition, all within half a minute.

The swift and seamless execution of the theft has prompted widespread concern among netizens and car owners. Many are reevaluating their security measures, recognising that even the most luxurious and seemingly impenetrable vehicles are not immune to determined thieves who exploit weaknesses in their systems.
One user wrote, “So after he’s taken the car, how would he open / start it the next time?” Another added, “This is exactly why I don’t park my Rolls Royce at random neighborhood.” A third said, “How do you resell a stolen Rolls? Does it get chopped? I have so many questions.”
