Overview
- Philippe Bianchi announced on Wednesday that the family’s property was burgled, saying the break-in occurred on Monday.
- He reported that nine JB17 Forever chassis were taken along with Jules Bianchi’s last kart, a KZ 125 ART GP, and his grandsons’ mini karts.
- Bianchi asked anyone who sees JB17-branded karts in circulation or offered for sale to contact him with information.
- Coverage across multiple motorsport outlets on January 7 relayed the appeal, with no reports of recoveries or arrests.
