The car was stolen this is the fear of all motorists. Of course, in addition to the practical and financial aspects, there is also an emotional aspect, even if you are not necessarily a big enthusiast. In addition to the fact that thefts, unfortunately, occur very regularly, and in many cases vehicles are not found because they are hidden in underground parking lots. While most thieves use the mouse hijacking technique by cracking the key, others are much more opportunistic. This is just the case in this amazing story worthy of a movie.

A banal situation

The case takes place on Friday, March 24, in the city of Montpellier. The motorist returned home around 11:30. To open the garage of his house to park his car there, he decides to leave the keys in the ignition to save time. Except he barely has time to turn around before seeing his car backing up. However, I must have put the handbrake on! And no, it’s good stealing his car that our husband is a witness. But he does not intend to allow such a thing to happen, on the contrary. And he will not be alone.

A real chase

Indeed, his neighbor saw the whole scene and offers to take him to catch up with the bandit. A chase then ensues through the streets of the city until the thief catches up after a few seconds. The latter, panicking, crashed another car and flee on foot. The man is finally intercepted and then presented to the police, to whom he denies everything. He explains the availability I bought a car for €50. Fortunately, there were no injuries except for the cars.
