POLL | Will you hand in the Ferrari key if you find it?

South Africans have weighed in on a Pretoria woman’s plea for help to find the lost key for her Ferrari FF.

The car has a market value estimated to be around R5m.

The woman apparently lost the key to her car during a recent altercation outside two popular Pretoria bars.

A friend of the woman, Johnny Rockett, said there was a R5,000 reward for its safe return and it would cost at least R120,000 to replace the key. However, Ferrari SA has since the initial publication of this story told TimesLIVE the amount of R120 000 is not correct and that it would cost less than R16 000 to replace the key.

South Africans have weighed in on the reward, with some saying they would not return the key if found, and others suggesting they would return it for much more than the R5,000 reward.

Part owner of Jack Friday’s, Allen Nyamupachitu, told TimesLIVE there had been an altercation between two women on Sunday but staff managed to “defuse the situation”. 

The fight then moved to the parking lot in the early hours on Monday. 

“Apparently there was another altercation between the same people and the key was lost then.”
