Businessman known as 'Candyman 2.0' and his pregnant girlfriend send a stern message to the teenagers who ransacked their $130K luxury Mercedes
A businessman dubbed Candyman 2.0 who flaunts bikini clad women and sports cars on social media has sent a message to the teenagers who ransacked a luxury car owned by his pregnant partner.
Posting a series of Instagram stories on Tuesday night, Gold Coast influencer Troy 'Candy' Williams detailed the saga to his 165,000 followers.
The video shows the teens filmed their crime and tagged Mr Williams' Instagram account as they ransacked the turquoise Mercedes parked in the driveway of the couple's home.
'Little c***s took my s*** out of my mrs car,' he wrote.
Mr Williams offered a cash reward to his followers in return for information on the identity of the offenders and the return of his items.
Posting an update to his Instagram, he thanked his followers for helping him track down the names and addresses of the thieves, revealing he received most of his items back.
Mr Williams did not go to the police, but instead spoke with the father of one of the teens and the mother of another - who broke down into tears asking him for help.
'To see his mum break into tears, ask for help, told me her life story and they're off the rails and she doesn't know what to do - that was upsetting to see,' he told 7News.

He pleaded with the teens involved to find a way out, saying their behaviour could end in tragedy.
'It's not too late to seek help and get out of that lifestyle, and put your hand up and speak to someone,' Williams told the news outlet.
He finished his series of videos with the message: 'To people asking "why I didn't call the police?" These kids have already been caught heaps by police and because they are under 18 they get a slap on the wrist. So that would just be a waste of time.
'It's a sad loophole but it's the truth.'
Williams has amassed a following on Instagram as a car enthusiast and often posts his antics to Instagram.
Last month the influencer received a $2,000 fine for performing a burnout at a large gathering on the Gold Coast.
