Perhaps it was Vettel? Maybe they wouldn't let him have all his trophies when he left so he went in and got them? .....



Just kidding obviously

Probably taken as compensation by all the people who didn't get the wings they were promised .

What would you even do with Stolen trophies? surely they'd be very easy to trace?

Men in dark clothes on foreign plates? I reckon it was finger boy wanting "his" trophies back

Clearly a mafia job instigated by Ferrari. It was probably even written into Vettel's contract. You can't blame him because he's not going to win anything with Ferrari.

There's a lot of pride held in those trophies for the guys at the factory not on the big money and the fame/fortune! Very sad.

Especially when you think that the intrinsic value of them is nothing to anyone else really. They're only valuable to the winners.

I've seen Mclaren's stuffed trophy cabinets a few times and lots of the trophies are really tacky and worth nothing to anyone else in terms of metals or re-sale. Some are just wood or glass or even plastic!

Interesting co-incidence it was just after the pics of Vettel standing in front of the cabinets came out.

It is a strange thing to steal. They probably walked pasts millions of pounds of F1 cars to get to them. They are worthless.

My mums Swarovski collection is worth more. . . . .
