When we own a car, we usually do everything we can to keep it in good condition and, above all, to make sure that nothing happens to it. We pay attention to how we drive the car and take every possible precaution to prevent it from being damaged or, even worse, stolen. By the way, there are an average of about fifteen car thefts every hour in France, while last year there were more than 134,000 across the country. Apart from the financial aspect, you also have to take into account the sentimental aspect, because it is true that we we usually get very attached to our car.

A careless mistake

Not to mention that our vehicle is also often our work tool, or at least allows us to get to the office every day. Suffice it to say, it’s importantavoid the slightest risk. And the story we are telling you today proves that it is necessary. It happened a few days earlier in Perigueux, in the Dordogne. The car enthusiast decided to go to the shopping center to look at the brochure. He only needs a few seconds and decides to leave his car on and open. But when he came out, it was gone.

An unusual flight

Only 30 minutes later, the thief returned to return the car to its owner, much to the surprise of the police. The latter were able to quickly apprehend the thief thanks to surveillance camera images. The latter was detained a few minutes later, with a size 1.8 grams of alcohol in the blood. Then he was taken into custody. He did not steal anything from the car, but only went for a short ride, but the reason for his act remains unclear.
