David Beckham gets a free car


David Beckham’s BMW X5, worth roughly around $125,000 USD, was stolen from a shopping center parking lot in Madrid on Good Friday. It is the second car he’s had stolen in five months.

Beckham’s car had all the latest anti-theft devices, including a low-jack, but thieves used a computer to somehow start the car and bypass security. A crime syndicate that fences luxury automobiles for resale in Eastern Europe is suspected of the crime.

As a consolation prize, Beckham received a free top of the line Audi Q7. All of his teammates got one too, as part of Audi’s sponsorship of Real Madrid. The car is worth about the same as the one Beckham just got stolen, and he requested most of the trimmings, adding about $35,000 USD to the car’s worth.

Here’s Beckham getting his free car, and out with his wife Victoria at The Ivy restaurant on 4/24.
