Jackass star Bam Margera had a very interesting night on Tuesday when his Bentley was stolen from a gas station.
The stunt double and star of the 41-year-old reality show took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video with his 2.2 million followers on Instagram, while telling the story over the phone with professional skateboarder Danny Way.
Not only was his car stolen in a matter of moments, after he stopped at a gas station in Vista, California, the thief led the police in a high-speed chase before crashing into a house.

“Danny, you’re not going to believe this,” began Bam, as he told the story over the phone.
He went on to explain that he was on his way from Escondido, to ‘the shaman’s house’, adding that he was ‘having a ceremony with me very early in the morning, so I thought it would be better to spend the night’.
On the way to Escondido, he stopped at a gas station in Vista, California, ‘to charge my phone and refuel because he was dead and I didn’t know his address’.

Moments after starting to charge his phone, ‘I look out the window and the fucking car is gone.’
He added that “eight police cars and three helicopters” were chasing the car in a high-speed chase, which ended when the car was “taken to a burning house”.
Margera added that, ‘to top it off, I go in to get my phone and the lady at the counter gave it to someone else’.

‘I can’t write this, man. I don’t know the severity of the damage, ‘said Margera, when the video came to an end.
Sources close to Margera told TMZ that the Margera Bentley was not “destroyed”, although it was towed to a local dealer for repairs.
While Margera is certainly not to blame in this case, the star is no stranger to legal problems, including a bizarre arrest for breaking into the lobby of a Los Angeles hotel in August 2019.

His family said he stopped taking his bipolar disorder drugs before his arrest and, weeks before his arrest for trespassing, he was kicked out of a Southwest flight because of his drunken antics.
In early 2019, he made headlines for collapsing before canceling a comical appearance, which happened just a month after leaving his second stint in rehab.
The third time in rehab seemed to be the charm of Margera, who has not been in trouble since and is filming Jackass 4 with Johnny Knoxville.
