As Shaquille O’Neal’s new and customized Range Rover made its journey from North Georgia to its final destination, the luxury SUV mysteriously vanished somewhere in Atlanta.
The NBA legend himself called the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office on Oct. 20 to report that his vehicle had not made it to him, Sheriff Stacy Jarrard told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution over the phone Friday evening.
Customizations had been done at a shop off Seven Mile Hill Road just outside of Dahlonega, Jarrard learned. After that, he said O’Neal had no idea where his 2025 Range Rover could have gone.
