Russia's First Maybach Theft
Filed under: Wheels
It's not always easy to be a high-spending Russian businessman. Vikotor Markov has the dubious distinction of being Russia's first Maybach 57 owner to have his car stolen. Markov, who bought the car for €530,000 but insured only for €300,000, lost his Maybach limo while he was eating dinner in Moscow. He went into the De Marco cate and aa gang of thugs hijacked his driver and knocked him out. He was released later outside the Moscow Ring Road. The theft is suspected to part of a series of ongoing thefts of luxury cars that has included three Bentleys. It is suspected that the car will be driven to another country such as Kazakhstan or Ukraine and resold.
