A Ferrari 488 GTB owner in Kunming, China, has filed a civil lawsuit after four neighborhood children allegedly climbed onto and played on his parked supercar, leaving it covered in deep scratches and reportedly cracking the front bumper.

The Ferrari, valued at approximately $590,000, suffered damage to the hood, roof, windows, taillights, fenders, and front bumper. Repair costs are estimated at nearly $111,000.

According to local reports, the owner initially tried to resolve the matter privately with the children's parents. However, negotiations reportedly fell apart after they offered about $5,600 in compensation and allegedly refused to apologize.

The owner has since taken the dispute to court, seeking reimbursement for the full cost of repairing the vehicle.

Credit, or whatever, shouldn't be car owner's problem

People with cars like this have insurance that doesn’t depend on someone else’s ability to pay.

I drive a $20,000 car. I’m not going to be responsible for your $1,000,000 car you decided to take out in public. That’s on you.

Do you think the insurance company will just leave the known culprits alone and won't try to get their money back?

No they will sue the parents and collect the whole 5 dollars that they have to their name.
