Carson Beck barely had time to unpack in Miami before reality hit—hard. The former Georgia quarterback, fresh off a high-profile transfer and a reported $4 million NIL deal, woke up to find his luxury cars gone. Not one, not two, but three vehicles stolen in a single night. His Lamborghini and Mercedes vanished, along with his girlfriend’s SUV. Talk about a rude “welcome to Miami.”

From Bulldog to Hurricane, Carson Beck’s career so far

Beck built a name for himself at the University of Georgia. He sat behind Stetson Bennett for years, then exploded onto the scene in 2023. Carson Beck led the Bulldogs to a 24-3 record as a starter, throwing for 7,912 yards and 58 touchdowns. He was expected to go pro but shocked fans by transferring to Miami instead.

The move came with perks. Reports claim Miami boosters put together a massive NIL package, reportedly worth $4 million, to bring him south. And Beck didn’t waste time enjoying his success. By March 2024, he was photographed buying a $300,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante.

Flashy Lamborghini, or a rolling theft target?

Beck’s Lamborghini purchase made headlines. Some saw it as a sign of NIL excess, proof that college football was turning into a bidding war. Others just thought it put a giant target on his back.

And sure enough, within a year, that Lambo was gone.

According to South Florida radio host Andy Slater, Carson Beck and his girlfriend–Miami basketball player Hanna Cavinder–had their vehicles stolen overnight. Her SUV was later recovered. His Lamborghini and Mercedes? Still missing.

The timing couldn’t be worse. FBI reports show organized crime rings have been targeting high-profile athletes. In December, the FBI even issued a warning about a surge in luxury car thefts.

The lost Lamborghini and Miami’s car theft problem

Carson Beck isn’t the only victim. Miami has long been a hotspot for car theft. Between 2000 and 2018, the city averaged thousands of stolen vehicles per year, according to MacroTrends. The pandemic-era spike in crime only made things worse.

And it’s not just Miami. Nationwide, auto thefts skyrocketed from 724,872 in 2019 to 942,174 in 2022. It’s finally slowing, but Miami’s numbers remain high.

Welcome to the big leagues, Carson Beck

Carson Beck transferred to Miami expecting tough competition on the field. He probably didn’t expect it in the parking lot. Losing both of his luxury cars in one night is a brutal introduction to his new city. Whether it’s an organized crime ring or just bad luck, one thing is clear: life in the fast lane comes with its risks.
