Pinky Cole, CEO of Slutty Vegan, had her Bentley stolen outside Voagies, her new sandwich business in Atlanta’s West View area. Customers were waiting in line to place their orders when three males arrived on scooters, got into Cole’s car, and drove away, according to Fox5.

Shortly after the event on Sunday, the Slutty Vegan founder posted a video to Instagram showing the scene outside Voagies. The scooters suspected to have been used by the accused were left on the ground as witnesses watched.

Cole said she encouraged followers to tell her if they saw the car and that police had been informed.

“If you are listening to this, and you stole my car, you can’t go really far with this vehicle because the whole Atlanta is talking about this right now,” she said.

She requested that the suspected thieves leave the car down somewhere and contact her anonymously via social media. 

However, she posted an update on Monday with some fresh leads, claiming that her fans assisted her in getting back some of the items that were stolen.

Cole said she received a video showing her car being destroyed for parts.

“I got so many DMs and so many tips,” she explained.

The restaurant owner posted images of pieces of a car lying in a patch of grass.

“All of my stuff was spread out in the middle of the street,” she said.

She noted that while her passport and card book were recovered by the person who discovered the vehicle’s fragments, other items, such as her laptop and bookbag, are still missing.

Cole stated that she did not believe this to be a targeted theft. “It wasn’t personal. They just wanted a vehicle to sell,” she said.

Voagies is located on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and serves vegan hoagies.

According to reports, the incident is being looked into by the Atlanta Police Department.
