PASSAIC, N.J. (1010 WINS) — "Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast member Jennifer Aydin is calling on the public's help after her husband's 2016 Ferrari was stolen from her Paramus home on Sunday night.
"Bill’s Ferrari got stolen from our garage in Paramus within the last House hour and a half," she tweeted Sunday. "Please message any info, or if anyone has seen a red Ferrari California, please notify Paramus PD."
Aydin, 44, posted surveillance footage of the masked thieves on Instagram, showing the suspects slipping into her family's garage and driving off with the Ferrari.
She said in another post that Justin, her 17-year-old son, "pulled up right as they were leaving the house — Thank God he wasn’t there 30 seconds earlier to cross their path while in the act."
At the time of the terrifying ordeal, four of Aydin's five children, her parents, and her nanny and au pair were inside the house, which she described to 1010 WINS on Monday.
"When [Justin] was pulling into our driveway, he saw our Ferrari on the street in front of our house with a white SUV behind it, and he was confused. But he continued to go into the driveway, up by the garages," she said. "And when he saw that all of my garage doors were left open, he knew that it was stolen. It was his instinct to go chase after them, and gratefully, my mom encouraged him to let it go."
Aydin said she and her husband, Bill, were in Miami for the weekend and he left the doors of his BMW open "to get masks out of the car and just forgot to lock the doors, which [they] usually always do."
"The perpetrators were looking inside the BMW, and I guess when they found the garage opener, they opened all the garages and they stole the Ferrari, which the keys had been in ... We are obviously very shaken and taken aback by all of this but we are grateful that my family is safe," she added.
In the aftermath of the incident, the reality star said that she hired an "armed military officer" and security to keep an eye on the house until the couple departs for New Jersey on Monday.
Paramus Police Chief Kenneth Ehrenburg said the department is investigating the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the Paramus Police Department at 201-262-3400.
