Car Fule

Having your car stolen is the fear of all motorists. Beyond the practical and financial aspect, of course, there is also the emotional side, even when you are not necessarily a great enthusiast. Except that the thefts unfortunately happen very regularly, and in many cases, the vehicles are not found, because they are hidden in underground car parks. While most thieves use the mouse-jacking technique by hacking the key, others are much more opportunistic. That’s just the case in this amazing movie-worthy story.

A banal situation

The case takes place on Friday, March 24, in the city of Montpellier. A motorist returned home around 11:30 a.m. In order to open the garage of his house to park his vehicle there, he decides to leave the keys in the ignition to save time. Except that he barely has time to turn around before seeing his car backing up. It is however sure to have put the handbrake! And no, it’s fine stealing his car that our man is witnessing. But he does not intend to let things happen like that, quite the contrary. And he won’t be alone.

A real chase

Indeed, his neighbor has seen the whole scene and offers to take him to catch up with the thug. A chase then begins in the streets of the city, until reaching the thief after a few seconds. The latter, panicked, crashed another car and escape on foot. The man is finally intercepted and then presented to the police, in front of which he denies everything. He explains having bought the car for 50€. Fortunately, no injuries, apart from the cars, are to be deplored.
