A source told The Sun: ‘To say Dom is devastated is an understatement. It’s an extremely rare car and it was his prized possession.

‘He’s now living in fear as he has had cars taken four times in just a few months and feels like he’s being targeted.’

Th insider went on to say that with the string of car incidents, Dominic is considering whether it’s worth it to own a car at all.

They added: ‘He’s a bit worried and wondering if having the cars is worth the hassle. He’s a bit of a petrol head so it’s not just the money, it’s just how special the car was to him.’

Dominic, who lives in London’s Primrose Hill, is said to have asked his neighbours on an online forum to keep a look out for his car and encouraged them to keep their possessions safe amidst the ‘rising level of burglaries and theft’ in the local area.

MailOnline have contacted representatives of Dominic for comment. 

This is the latest in a run of bad luck for The Preacher star as he’s had three other motors stolen in the past year. 

Back in July 2020 it was reported that his 1950s era Austin Healy car, which retails around £65,000, had been stolen.

In another strike of bad luck, Dominic’s Range Rover was also stolen in August with the star appealing on social media for any news about it.

Dominic had been using the larger drive to deliver meals to NHS staff during the first coronavirus lockdown and it had the initiative’s name Cook-19 on the side, reports the Camden New Journal.

The actor has often spoken about his love of cars, describing them as a form of ‘escapism’ in an article in Leo Edit last year.

He said: ‘I understand that some people view these machines merely as objects that fulfill the need of getting from A to B—a term I despise for it is often within these parameters of the A and the B where the best things happen. 

‘But to me, it meant the ability to escape. To travel and be somewhere whenever you wanted, in the time you wanted, without relying on external forces.’ 

While the Need For Speed star said back in 2014: ‘I’ve always loved them and sort of obsessed over them. I suppose a majority of boys do.

‘I remember, at a very young age, polishing my models of Ferraris in my bedroom. While other kids were out riding their bikes, I was polishing Ferraris. It’s very bleak.

‘I had loads of books about cars, and for some reason they were the ones I liked best.’
