A BMW was stolen from a driveway in East Kilbride as the owner defrosted it, prompting police to issue a warning about car thefts.
East Kilbride: So, here’s the scoop. A BMW 4 series was swiped right from a driveway while the owner was busy defrosting it. Can you believe that?
This happened 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 noticed the car being driven away and tried to chase after it. But the thief sped off, possibly with an accomplice in an Audi. What a scene!
The police are on the case, trying to figure out exactly what went down. They’re urging folks to be careful, especially during these cold mornings.
They call these quick thefts “frostings,” and they can happen in the blink of an eye. So, if you’re defrosting your car, it’s best to stay inside it.
A police spokesperson reminded everyone not to leave their keys in the car, even for a moment. It’s just not worth the risk, especially since many insurance companies won’t cover thefts like this.
So, keep your eyes peeled and stay safe out there! No one wants to deal with the hassle of a stolen car.
