Can't believe the hubbub on a car enthusiasts site about someone owning one of the nicest cars you can buy, IMO. Who cares how she got it, I hope they catch the scumbags that half inched it.

If I was cashed up, I'd get an Aston too...but it'd be the V8 Vantage which is the model that article appears to be referring to...
I can see how 283kW can seem like a handful for a 22yo young lady though, good thing her fiance didn't go and get her a 380kW V12 Vantage!! But seriously, I hope they find her car (a great looking model too!) ![]()

She should have just left a pair of her nickers on the drivers seat, this way the crooks would have seen them and gone home with the real treasure.

MODEL Lara Bingle's stolen Aston Martin has been found and is under guard at a Sydney police station.
The $250,000 sports car, which was given to Bingle by her fiance, cricketer Michael Clarke, was stolen from their Bondi apartment building. It is now being held by Coogee police and is reported to have only minor damage.

Silly bint leaves her keys in the car.
Unexpected bonus for whoever was breaking into all the garages in the building. How will Lara get to the MENSA meetings until her car is returned ? |

JUST BECAUSE SHE IS RICH , doesnt mean she has everything all worked out with a wise head on her shoulders. the only thing here is if it is proved an inside job , or stupid blonde young women , leaving the keys in the car for a friend to take for a joy ride , or a smash or whatever , is that 250 000 can easily be covered by the piar, so at worst they wont get insurance cover . who cares . is one wise enough though to cover up things like , CTV footage, or WTF , i didnt know they were that hard to knock off before i reported it . or the thief gets a new job with AUSTIN MARTIN . I MIGHT ADD a 22 year old woman is more interested in her high heal shoes than what her cars security or performance features incorporate , in other words , whe would know how much the car is worth , how it makes a statement , she would not know that it would be upteenth times harder to knockoff than her previuos territory , or usual 22 year old girls lancer.

To all the people who suggest we are all tall poppy haters, you may be correct. BUT, Lara Bingle still comes across as a naive, ostentatious b grade celebrity who managed to snag her male equivalent. And I still stand by the fact that an Aston Martin is not a practical vehicle, not for her or any one else for that matter. It is a luxury sports touring vehicle and to know it's being used to go from cafe to cafe is an absolute tragedy.

Bawwww, let the thieves have it. It's not like she ever earned it.
Plus, it's not like they're going to flog it to death in a suburban park then leave it burnt out in Thurgoona/Deer Park/Cronulla/Inala/Kwinana/Murray Bridge/wherever after going to the efforts they did to steal it. It's most likely going to find itself a loving owner who treats it right, and probably in an exotic locale too. |

I wonder how much this vehicle would go for if it ended up in the damaged vehicles lot at Pickles?

While I don't think it's an appropriate car for a young inexperienced female to be driving to the shops and cafes, (I personally would be too scared to take it out often, for anything other than a nice long cruise down the coast), good luck to her. It was an engagement present from her man. I'd definitely pick it, over an engagemnt ring of the same value. They can both get some enjoyment out of it.

Good for her then. I still hold my sentiments about her ease of income vs how hard shes worked for it, but that's not to say I am opposed to her owning and driving such a nice 'car' solely on a green eyed principal or of her being the superior breed or an almost celebrity or other such stuff (if she takes care of it that is - it is, after all, part of the Ford family!).
Just the way I saw it, if it were gone it's not like she's really lost anything she's worked hard for. ![]() P.S. $250-odd would get one hell of an engagement ring, but yeah I too think the Aston a nicer gift XD. |

The report I heard on ABC said it was likely that the spare keys were left in the glove box of her partners car, this is important as Aston Martian believe its impossible to steal these cars and that those who took it must have access to a key.
Having said that I have no idea of who she is and I only have a vague idea her partner is involved in cricket, an activity I think is more boring than watching paint dry. |

[QUOTE=csv8]
A source close to Ms Bingle, who declined to be named, said she was "shocked" and "frightened" over the incident. "She can't believe it - she's really upset," the source said. "Michael is not here and she's quite frightened." /QUOTE] What is there to be frightened about, It was the car that was stolen, Fairly sure they just wanted the car and not the air head who owns it!! If it was my car i would be “Angry and *i^$ed off”

A THIRD set of keys to Lara Bingle's $250,000 Aston Martin were stolen from fiance Michael Clarke's Range Rover, the couple claimed yesterday.
Bingle was trying to answer questions surrounding the mysterious theft of her 2008-model Vantage just hours after it was found parked in a neighbouring suburb. On Thursday the carmaker declared no Aston Martin had ever been stolen without the key. "Last night [Thursday] Michael realised he had left a spare set of Aston Martin keys in the glove box of his Range Rover," Bingle said yesterday. "The Range Rover was broken into, so we believe [thieves] have taken the keys and stolen the Aston Martin." While at the Icebergs New Year's Day party in Bondi with Clarke, the 22-year-old remained cagey about how the coupe had vanished and refused to reveal if she planned to keep the supercar. "We're not sure what we'll do - let's get it back first," she said. Before heading to Icebergs the couple spoke with police after the car was found abandoned in a cul-de-sac at a South Coogee housing estate late on New Year's Eve. While the Aston Martin usually turns heads, it was barely noticed by residents of Iluka Place who said it was locked up, parked perfectly and had hardly a scratch. Police yesterday confirmed that the fraud squad would investigate the theft.
