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.

Widow paraded for Stealing Bananas

As per a report, in a weird act in Vaishali district in Bihar state of India, a widow was paraded after tonsuring her head on the charge of stealing a few bananas. 55-year-old widow 'Desri Devi', was guilty of stealing bananas from the field of a farmer Dinesh Rai at Balua-Basant village. She was also fined Indian Rupees 2,500 ( US $ 55 ) by village head despite knowing that she earns her living by begging after her husband had died about a decade ago. As she expressed her inability to pay the hefty fine, a local barber was called and her hair were shaved off.

As per the poor lady, "Some people wanted me to be stripped and then paraded on the streets, but others stopped them from doing that. Still, I was paraded in the lanes of the village for no fault of mine," she said in the FIR lodged with the Lalganj police station. In fact Desri Devi was suffering from somnambulism & in her sleep had walked to the banana field where she was caught by the night-watchman.
