27th Main and 17th Cross witnessed two thefts last Sunday
Last Sunday, two diners in HSR lost valuables worth thousands of rupees when they parked their car and went to dine at restaurants nearby.
FIRST INCIDENT
Thirty-two-year-old Rajat Bhat, a resident of Purva Fairmont apartments on 24th Main in Sector 2 lost items worth Rs 50,000 when he went out to eat at a restaurant near Pepperfry Studio. On January 20, at around 8.30pm, he parked his car opposite Pepperfry Studio on 17th Cross in Sector 2 and stepped out to eat at a nearby restaurant. When he came back at 10pm, the rear passenger window was broken and his laptop and wallet containing ID cards, bank cards and jewellery, all the items being worth Rs 50,000.
SECOND INCIDENT
Nitin Tom Paul, a 27-year-old resident of Huskur was in for a shock when he went out to dinner last Sunday.
He had parked his Honda Jazz car in front of Bricky’s restaurant on 27th Main and went inside to have dinner at around 9.15pm. When he came out at 10.45pm, somebody had broken the passenger side of the window and stolen the Apple MacBook pro 15-inch laptop and the bag kept on the seat.
The HSR cops advise everyone to not keep anything valuable inside the car and venture out. Don’t even keep an empty laptop bag, because some thieves broken the window glass and stole that too in one such incident two years ago.
The cops have registered a case of theft in both the cases and are investigating.
