A gym owner who flaunted his luxury Lamborghini on TikTok has spoken exclusively to 7NEWS after the $750,000 supercar was stolen in a daring overnight theft.
Queensland Police allege the custom purple-and-mauve Lamborghini Urus was taken from a property in Elimbah, about an hour north of Brisbane, just after 10.40pm on July 23.

The Lamborghini Urus had previously featured in videos posted by the owner David Stearman on TikTok.
But for Stearman the flashy SUV was more than a status symbol.
“It’s just a theatrical experience and you don’t get sick of it,” he told 7NEWS.
“Every single person that drives past … rubbernecks. The second you go anywhere … people ask: What do you do? How do I get that? Can I see it?’”
Stearman’s car is one of only 47 of its kind in the world.
The Lamborghini Urus has a starting price of around $400,000, with the base model capable of hitting 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds.
Stearman’s customised version was worth closer to $750,000 and had become a local icon, often seen at charity rides and Sunday cruises.
But that fame came at a cost.
Investigators believe thieves forced their way into the garage before fleeing with the rare vehicle.
CCTV captured a hooded man entering his home as Stearman slept.
“It’s kids having the best joyride of their lives, or it’s a super-genius that’s really thought this one through,” Stearman said.
“It’s pretty much the most famous Lambo in Australia right now, so I don’t think anyone’s putting it on the road again.”
“Because it’s so extra, so over the top in so many ways, it’s not something that’s easy to hide. I just hope it was worth it.”
The loss has left him questioning whether the luxury car lifestyle is worth the risk.
“Insurance will cover the financial hit, but then there’s the emotional toll,” he admitted.
Other personal items were also reported stolen.
“They also took a $100,000 watch, designer bags and bank cards,” Stearman said.
Queensland Police are appealing for anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage from the Elimbah area to come forward.
Information can be provided to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
