Bugatti CEO chases down car thief - then offers him lift home

What the report says

Bugatti chief executive Mate Rimac was reported to have had his £2 million car stolen from a company site in Zagreb, prompting him to say he would no longer leave the keys in the vehicle. The brief account from Sky News World identifies the incident as involving one of the luxury car maker’s high-value models and places it at a Bugatti-related site in the Croatian capital.

According to the source snippet, the theft led Rimac to change a personal habit rather than making any broader operational announcement. The reported remark about stopping leaving keys in the car suggests the episode exposed a basic security lapse, even at a company associated with high-end vehicles and advanced automotive engineering.

The headline indicates an unusual follow-up in which Rimac chased the thief and later offered him a lift home, but the available text does not provide further details on how that interaction unfolded or whether police were involved. Sky News World’s report appears to present the incident as both a security story and an anecdote about the company boss’s response.

For context, Bugatti is part of the wider Rimac-Bugatti automotive group, and vehicles at this price point are typically fitted with extensive tracking and security measures. However, the published evidence here is limited, so only the theft, the car’s approximate value, the Zagreb location and Rimac’s stated change in behaviour can be confirmed.
