He was sent a video of two males inside the unfinished property, 57 floors above Melbourne’s CBD (Central Business District). He added,
“The fact that there’s people wandering around the building who shouldn’t be there is concerning for everyone,”

Portelli believed that they gained access to enter through a lift shaft. Moreover, Victoria Police confirmed that they were investigating a “trespass incident.” A police spokesperson said,
“It is understood two male offenders gained access to a residence between 11pm on Sunday 25 and 2am on Monday 26 August,”
The video shows two men examining Portelli’s $3 million McLaren sports car, which was kept inside the penthouse. Portelli said,
“Boys, if you want to try and steal a car don’t try and steal one that’s 57 floors up,”
