Someone allegedly swiped it along with several other supercars in what authorities call a multi-million-dollar luxury car theft ring. The scheme involved renters who never returned nearly two dozen high-end cars, instead manipulating paperwork to strip owners&rsquo; titles before reselling the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Strange Message<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>For Garcia, the day his car disappeared was devastating. &ldquo;I cried&rdquo;, Garcia said of the day the car vanished. &ldquo;It was a blow to a lot of people, very frustrating,&rdquo; he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs8.com\/article\/news\/local\/southern-california-man-uses-ai-to-track-down-stolen-lamborghini-in-colorado\/509-e13e3894-21a9-4ddd-b6fd-b89264f92635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBS8<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>While other victims of the ring managed to get their cars back, Garcia&rsquo;s Lambo remained missing until a very strange Instagram message popped up. &ldquo;Did you sell this car?&rdquo; it said, along with new photos of the car. Evidently, the person contacting Garcia found his business card in the car and reached out thinking he might be able to procure more supercars.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than handing the mystery over right away, Garcia decided to investigate on his own. He fed the pictures into ChatGPT, paired it with Google&rsquo;s location tools, and managed to pull enough data to zero in on the car&rsquo;s location. The trail led him to Denver, Colorado, where he tipped off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/police\/\">police<\/a>. Authorities there found the car and indeed confirmed it was Garcia&rsquo;s long-lost raging bull.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Investigation Still Unfolding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cale Gould, spokesperson for the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority, praised the unconventional sleuthing: &ldquo;This proactive intelligence gathering is a really great benefit to helping recover stolen vehicles.&rdquo; Interestingly, the investigation into who had the car in Colorado is still ongoing.
