Owner of ‘most famous Lambo in Australia' breaks silence after daring overnight heist
A gym owner who flaunted his luxury Lamborghini on TikTok has spoken exclusively to 7NEWS after the $750,000 supercar was stolen in a daring overnight theft. Queensland Police allege the custom purple-and-mauve Lamborghini Urus was taken from a property in Elimbah, about an hour north of Brisbane, just after 10.40pm on July 23. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Owner of the stolen Lamborghini speaks out The Lamborghini Urus had previously featured in videos posted by the owner David Stearman on TikTok. But for Stearman the flashy SUV was more than a status symbol. 'It's just a theatrical experience and you don't get sick of it,' he told 7NEWS. 'Every single person that drives past … rubbernecks. The second you go anywhere … people ask: What do you do? How do I get that? Can I see it?'' Stearman's car is one of only 47 of its kind in the world. The Lamborghini Urus has a starting price of around $400,000, with the base model capable of hitting 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds. Stearman's customised version was worth closer to $750,000 and had become a local icon, often seen at charity rides and Sunday cruises.

CCTV captured a hooded man entering his home as Stearman slept. 'It's kids having the best joyride of their lives, or it's a super-genius that's really thought this one through,' Stearman said. 'It's pretty much the most famous Lambo in Australia right now, so I don't think anyone's putting it on the road again.' 'Because it's so extra, so over the top in so many ways, it's not something that's easy to hide. I just hope it was worth it.' The loss has left him questioning whether the luxury car lifestyle is worth the risk. 'Insurance will cover the financial hit, but then there's the emotional toll,' he admitted. Other personal items were also reported stolen. 'They also took a $100,000 watch, designer bags and bank cards,' Stearman said. Queensland Police are appealing for anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage from the Elimbah area to come forward. Information can be provided to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.

Melbourne mum calls for testing of elderly drivers after her son and her parents run over
Heartbroken parents are calling for change after their little boy and both her parents were mowed down by a 91-year-old driver. Vicky's mum and dad were taking her two-year-old son for their regular walk in Wantirna South, in Melbourne 's east, on July 10 when they were wiped out on the footpath by a Toyota Yaris that had mounted a kerb. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Mother calls for change after son and both parents mowed down by elderly driver. Her mum, 59, died at the scene, and her 60-year-old father succumbed to his injuries days later in hospital. 'I totally lost the ones who loved me the most in the world,' Vicky told 7NEWS. Miraculously, her son survived with only scratches and bruises. '(His) grandparents (protected) him. The second they saw the car, they didn't see themselves at all,' the boy's father Ethan told 7NEWS. The grandparents only recently moved to Australia to care for their only grandchild. 'I was just thinking, why (are) you always pushing me to have a child, I don't want it, but now I deeply and truly understand,' Vicky said. 'My son Carl, because of him, I need to keep going.' The grieving parents want change, saying it is time elderly Victorians face compulsory driving tests. 'Victorian legislation is way behind,' Ethan said. 'You can't guarantee (that) everyone can still drive when they are 70, 80, 90-years old.' Police interviewed the 91-year-old driver on Friday, releasing her without charge. 'I suppose she's someone's mother, but where is my mother, where is my father?,' Vicky said.
