An unlocked luxury sports car was stolen Sunday morning from a Buckhead parking garage.

Surveillance video from a high-rise condo building on East Paces Ferry Road shows the black Ferrari being driven slowly out of the covered garage. While police have not confirmed the model or its value, the Italian sports car manufacturer’s entry-level models carry a $200,000 price tag.

The video, obtained by Channel 2 Action News, also shows a door attendant confront a man in a red hooded sweatshirt and track pants moments before the theft. Atlanta police said he is wanted for questioning as he is considered a person of interest in the case.
