*Authorities in Georgia are investigating the disappearance of Shaquille O’Neal’s customized 2025 Range Rover after it was stolen during transport.
TMZ reports that Shaq’s luxury SUV, built to accommodate his 7’1″ frame, vanished somewhere between a Dahlonega, Georgia, auto shop and its intended destination in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a report was filed after the vehicle failed to arrive.
Officials believe the theft involved a sophisticated scheme in which someone impersonated a legitimate transport company. “Preliminary information suggests that an unauthorized individual or company may have taken possession of the vehicle under false pretenses,” the sheriff’s office said.

Investigators discovered that a tow truck registered to Griffin Wrecker Service LLC, bearing Georgia tag YIW241, was used to remove the vehicle and deliver it to an address in Atlanta. The person believed to have arranged the tow has not yet been identified, and no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
“We take the security and trust of our clients very seriously,” said a spokesperson for Effortless Motors, the dealership that sold O’Neal the Range Rover. “This was a highly coordinated criminal act targeting the transport company’s network. We are working closely with law enforcement and federal investigators to recover the vehicle and hold those responsible accountable.”
Effortless Motors is offering a $10,000 reward for credible information leading to the vehicle’s recovery.
“Effortless Motors was the authorized selling dealership and arranged transport through a third-party company that appeared fully verified. Upon the vehicle’s scheduled delivery, it was discovered that the company’s internal systems had been compromised and hijacked, resulting in the car being unlawfully taken during transit,” the dealership said.
