A BMW was stolen in East Kilbride as the owner defrosted it, prompting police investigations into the brazen theft.
East Kilbride: So, get this! A BMW 4 series was stolen right from a driveway while the owner was just trying to defrost it. Can you believe that?
This happened in the Glen Farg area around 1:20 PM on a chilly Friday. The owner left the car running to warm it up, and that’s when the thief struck. Talk about bad luck!
Apparently, the owner saw the car being backed out and tried to chase after it. But the thief sped off, and it looks like they had a getaway car waiting, too. Crazy, right?
Police are on the case, trying to figure out what went down. They got the report right after the theft happened and are still looking into it.
With the cold weather lately, the cops are warning folks to be careful. They’re saying not to leave your car running and unattended while it defrosts. It’s just too risky!
These quick thefts, known as ‘frostings,’ can happen in a flash. Officers are urging everyone to keep an eye out for anything suspicious and to stay in their cars while they warm them up.
A police spokesperson mentioned that leaving your car running with the keys inside is just asking for trouble. Plus, many insurance companies won’t cover thefts like this, even if it’s in your driveway. So, it’s really not worth the risk!
