CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - Two of the University of Miami’s hottest sports figures lost three of their luxury rides to thieves who drove away with them from the student athletes’ South Miami-area home, authorities said.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck and his girlfriend, basketball player Hanna Cavinder, had the luxury vehicles during the overnight hours of Thursday.
The couple, staying at a $5 million home, woke up to find a Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover missing.
Thursday night, 7News reporter Sheldon Fox caught up with Beck at a women’s basketball game at UM’s Watsco Center, where Cavinder hit the court.
But Beck was in no mood to address the thefts of the exotic rides.
“Carson, Sheldon Fox, 7News. How are you?” said Fox. “Sorry to bother you during the game. Can you tell me about the cars? How are you feeling?”
Beck shot down Fox, politely but firmly.
“No, I’m not answering any questions. Sorry,” the student athlete replied.
“The fact that your cars were stolen?” said Fox.
“No, no, we’re good,” said Beck.
“Anything from police?” said Fox.
“Um, I’m trying to watch the game,” said Beck.
Hours earlier, they were dealing with MDSO detectives at their home investigating the thefts.
A neighbor shared surveillance footage showing two vehicles leaving the neighborhood at around 3 a.m. One of them was bright red.
MDSO deputies recovered the Land Rover after they received a call.
MDSO put out a “be on the lookout” for the other two missing vehicles.
“Two 22s that were taken in a 26 at 6270 Southwest 86 Street,” said a dispatcher. “Two vehicles that were taken. The first one is a 2023 red Lamborghini, the second one of a 2023 gray Mercedes-Benz.”
Deputies recovered the Mercedes-Benz Thursday afternoon. However, the Lamborghini remains missing as of Thursday night.
7News cameras captured detectives at the students’ home investigating the crime until at around noon.
The theft comes weeks after Beck committed to the Hurricanes for the 2025 season.
Detectives were at the scene investigating until around noon Thursday.
One neighbor tells 7News the theft was unusual for the area.
“We were very surprised by what happened because this is not something that normally happens in our neighborhood,” said James Cason.
While Beck didn’t step out to speak to the media earlier in the day, his NIL agent, Jeff Hoffman, issued a statement that reads:
“We are grateful for the swift and diligent efforts of the Miami Police Department in handling this situation. Their professionalism and dedication are truly appreciated. While incidents like this are unfortunate, we have full confidence in the authorities and their ongoing work.”

Back at the ‘Canes basketball game, Fox struck out with Beck.
“Good luck, Carson. Thank you, buddy,” said Fox.
“I’m trying to watch the game. Sorry,” said Beck.
As of late Thursday night, detectives have not provided further details about the thefts, as they continue to investigate.
