Remember the heartwarming story of Skunk, the Boston Terrier lost in Cape Town that was found three weeks later after a citywide search and the offer of a R10 000 reward?

This is not one of those stories.

There is a reward of R5 000 on the line, but rather than a lost dog it’s a Ferrari key you’re looking for.

According to TimesLIVE, an “altercation” that took place outside two popular Pretoria bars has resulted in a woman losing the precious key to her Ferrari:

A friend of the woman, Johnny Rockett, took to social media last week and posted a picture of a key of a Ferarri FF, valued at about R10m, offering a R5,000 reward for its safe return.

Rockett said it would cost at least R120,000 to replace the key which went missing after a “small altercation” at Jack Friday’s last week on Sunday…

“The problem is that when you order the car the spare key is an extra R39,000. Not a lot of people who drive these vehicles have a spare key but these vehicles are usually parked in their showroom or garage.”

Ah, so forking out R10 million for a car is fine but R39 000 for the spare key is a step too far?

Let’s see that post:

I have a few thoughts.

Firstly, could you not have rotated the picture prior to uploading? Secondly, WhatsApp is one word. The price just went up – R7 000 for the safe return of the key.

Rockett wouldn’t name the woman who lost her key and neither would part owner of Jack Friday’s, Allen Nyamupachitu:

[He said] that there had been an altercation between two women at their establishment on Sunday.

“Our staff managed to diffuse the situation.”

He said the issue spilt over into the parking lot in the early hours of Monday morning.

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

The owner of a bar which neighbours Jack Friday’s said they had reviewed CCTV footage of the altercation and were still at a loss regarding the key’s whereabouts.

Eventually, the white Ferrari was loaded onto a flatbed and towed away.

But wait, there’s more. TimesLIVE saw fit to run a poll on whether or not people would hand in the key if they found it. Sadly, I had to vote in order to see the results:

There should be a fourth option where I hand over the key for R7 000 and all the details of the altercation.

I am fairly certain the scene resembled something out of Boet Fighter.
