The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Vladimir region gives an example when a metal hunter noticed a bituminous boiler weighing more than a ton, which was located on the territory of one of the garage cooperatives in the city of Kovrov. Without thinking twice, the thief drove a truck equipped with a manipulator and took the find to the nearest scrap collection point.
A day later, the attacker decided to consolidate his success by removing an entire metal garage from the GSK. In addition, the scrap buyers again, without further questions, accepted the bulky cargo and paid the scammer the money owed.
When the police picked up the case, only a certain “portion of the stolen property” was returned to the owner of the garage (which was not specified). And the lover of easy money is now waiting for the court: a criminal case has been started against him under art. 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Theft”.
And this is certainly not an isolated case! In the Samara region, thieves loved massive steel gates, which they no doubt cut and took away. And in the region of Penza, besides the gate, rambunctious people seized… a metal roof. Garage cooperatives are actively roaming the metropolitan region.
By the way, we continue with the theme of scammers and thieves. Methods of taking money from motorists in a relatively fair way by “car repair” fraudsters, as experience shows, do not fundamentally change over the years. But on the other hand, the form of psychological influence on the victims is enhanced. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells about one of the “novelties” of this kind.
