[EN] Gasoline is stolen from his car when he leaves the gym in Delicias: «I thought this was no longer done»

He had gone to the gym like any other afternoon and did not expect to find anything strange when he returned to his car. However, when this past Wednesday, around 8:00 p.m., a young woman left a sports center located in the vicinity of the Augusta Shopping Center, in Delicias, she found the tank of her vehicle open and a plastic rubber next to it. The first suspicion was immediate: someone had tried to steal his gasoline.

The young woman then checked the fuel gauge and confirmed that the needle had gone down. Although the tank still had gas and had not been empty, everything pointed to someone trying to extract some of the fuel while she was in the gym. A scene that was especially striking to him because of the method used and because, according to his own reaction, he did not think that this type of robbery would continue to occur and more so in a space as busy and with so many vehicles in sight as the parking lot of this large area.

AN UNEXPECTED ROBBERY

«I thought this wasn’t done anymore.» That was the young woman’s surprise when she discovered what happened. The discovery of the plastic rubber and the open tank were the reasons that led him to think that someone had tried to take the petrol from his car, taking advantage of the time it remained parked.

The episode also occurs at a time when the price of fuel is particularly high. A circumstance that can cause some people to try to get fuel in this way, either to take advantage of the situation or even out of necessity. At the moment, it is unknown if the attempted robbery has occurred in isolation or if there could have been other vehicles affected in the same area of Delicias.
