* Owner of a Ferrari 488 GTB in China returned from a trip to find his $530,000 supercar scratched and damaged by children playing on it in a common parking space.

Any exotic car owner would be furious to see their car scratched or damaged after returning from an outstation trip, and that is what happened to the owner of a Ferrari 488 GTB in China.

Notably, the supercar, worth 3.6 million yuan (US$530,000), was left exposed to the elements and curious kids instead of being safely parked in a garage, as one would expect.

The 488 was parked in what looked like a common parking space with no enclosure or cover over the supercar, leaving it vulnerable to mischief.

Security camera footage shows children approaching the red supercar with bamboo poles before climbing on top of the car.
