Man give funeral for, and buries, his $500k Bentley in his backyard

by Austin Petersen

Eccentric Brazilian rich guy Chiquinho Scarpa buried his Bentley vehicle in his backyard after seeing a documentary about the Egyptian pharaohs. His car, valued around $500K, received a full funeral and wreath before being entombed due to Scarpa’s belief that it could follow him into the afterlife. The god-kings of ancient Egypt famously had their earthly possessions, and sometimes their pets or servants, entombed with them. They believed that this would ensure they were there waiting for them in the afterlife.

‘I decided to do as the pharaohs: I will bury my favourite car, my Bentley, in my house garden,’ the man said on Facebook. ‘I buried my car and everyone thought it was absurd when I said I was going to do that,’ he wrote on Facebook. ‘Absurd [are those who] bury their organs, which could save many lives. Nothing is more valuable. Be a donor; tell your family.’

UPDATE: Sources provided to TLR reveal that the eccentric millionaire Scarpa cooked up the story as a publicity stunt in order to draw attention to organ donors. Great stunt Mr. Scarpa, you fooled us! And yes, we at TLR are organ donors!
