A Highland Park car thief ditched his beat-up SUV for a new Ferrari last week, police say.

Officers were called to a home in the 3500 block of Beverly Drive, near Auburndale Avenue, on Wednesday afternoon about a crime that occurred several days earlier.

According to the homeowner, a white 2018 Ferrari GTC4Lusso T had been left in the driveway at the side of the home, unlocked and with the keys inside, on Nov. 4. (The Italian supercar, which can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and tops out at 199 mph, retails for around $300,000.)

Surveillance footage from the home shows a man parking a white 2007 Chevrolet Suburban on the street around 6:40 p.m., then walking over to the Ferrari and getting in.

After some length of time — a police report notes that "the suspect was figuring out how to start the vehicle" — the man drives off, leaving the Suburban behind.

The Suburban was still parked in front of the home when police arrived Wednesday, and officers found an open can of Michelob Ultra in the driver's console, as well as damage to the right side of the vehicle. Authorities impounded the SUV, which belongs to a Fort Worth man.

The Ferrari's owner also reported that about $2,000 of pain medication was in the car when it was stolen.

Authorities recovered the Ferrari in Fort Worth on Monday, according to Lt. Lance Koppa, a Highland Park Department of Public Safety spokesman.
