Mumbai: Javed, alias Bablu Mukhtar Khan (28) specialised in what has to be one of the most niche skills on offer in the world of commerce: stealing and delivering cars, according to the specifications of the customer.

He would then scour the streets for the exact model in the dubious 'order', and then use the skills he had acquired as a duplicate key maker to break into the chosen car and race off with them, all in a matter of 15 minutes.

Lo its Gone - Confessions of a Car thief

As per one Times of India report, here below are some interesting ways in which this "Car Thief" from Mumbai steals & changes the cars altogether within no time :

"Salim Sheikh had a reputation for using his nimble fingers to strip luxury cars in a few minutes of their 'nut and bolt' (as roadside argot goes).

After he was arrested and booked for stealing seven cars, Sheikh proudly told investigators that he could change the complexion and character of any car within a few hours.

Essentially, he would change the colour of the car, its upholstery, the rims on the tyre, clutch pad, brake pad and steering. The touch of ingenuity would be to steal two identical models within a short span and then interchange their chassis: both vehicles would thus be completely unrecognisable to even the original owners.

The 'overhauled' car would then be ready to begin a new life with a new number plate and a fake Registration Certificate (RC) book in a different city under an unsuspecting buyer. "

So dear friends, take care of your cars well as these type of thieves might be prowling in your area also.
