Love in the Dumpster: Russian Man Dumps Porsche After Wife Rejects Valentine’s Day Gift
This bizarre event highlights how grand gestures can sometimes backfire, proving that material gifts cannot always resolve deeper relationship issues.

A dramatic incident in Mytishchi, near Moscow, has captured global attention after a Russian man discarded a Porsche Macan in a dumpster following his wife’s rejection of the luxury SUV as a Valentine’s Day gift.
The man, reportedly attempting to mend his troubled marriage, purchased the damaged Porsche worth approximately 3 million rubles (around $30,000), intending to restore it as part of the gesture.
However, his wife viewed the gift as an insult rather than an act of love and refused it outright.
Frustrated by her reaction, the man impulsively dumped the ruby-red Porsche—still adorned with a red ribbon—into a garbage container.
The abandoned car has since become an unusual tourist attraction, drawing crowds of curious onlookers and social media buzz.
Many questioned how the vehicle was even placed in the dumpster. Despite its public spectacle, the man has not retrieved the car, and its fate remains uncertain.
Social media users offered mixed reactions, ranging from sympathy for the man to criticism of both parties involved.
