An Australian professional poker player who was known for his good fortune at the tables has experienced the shock of his life, finding out that his prized Ferrari F430 had been stolen from outside of a casino.
Van Marcus parked outside the casino to hand over the car to the valet who was to park the car and ensure that during the pro’s gambling session, the car was safe.
Adam Ramsey, a 32 year old man then proceeded to walk up to the valet and claimed that he was the owner of the $389,000 sports car.
The valet asked Ramsey for the ticket related to the car but Ramsey simply said that he no longer had it and the valet simply pulled the car around after Ramsey signed a form in his own name and paid $30.
Police found Ramsey and the damaged car at the side of a highway, arresting the joyrider.
Ramsey has pleaded guilty to the charges, with his own legal representative admitting that his client couldn’t have done a dumber thing if he tried.
Marcus’s anger is more towards the casino rather than Ramsey, saying that the casino are more than happy to watch gamblers place millions of dollars of bets over the tables but they are slack with their car park security.
