Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross said in an Instagram video that his bright orange Lamborghini Urus, a sports utility vehicle, was stolen from a car dealership and later totaled.

Ross detailed the incident in his social media post Tuesday.

According to ClickOrlando.com, “Orlando police confirmed officers responded to a report of stolen vehicle from the Lamborghini dealership at Field Motorcars of Florida on 33rd Street.”

In the Instagram video, Ross said police called him early Tuesday that they located the vehicle in Maitland, Florida, but it was totaled by two suspects that hit a building following a chase with police.

“I’m super confused,” Ross said in the video. ”Like what car? I didn’t go anywhere last night.”

That’s when Ross said he remembered he brought the Lambo into the dealership for a tire repair.

The vehicle was valued at more than $200,000, and was a 30th birthday present to him earlier this year, Yahoo reported.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the investigation is ongoing.
