A Siberian car owner learned of a startling situation when a so-called pair of his vehicle appeared in the Kuban, according to the Telegram channel Kub Mash.
Three years earlier, a resident of Angarsk found online that his Nissan had supposedly been sold and moved to Sochi, yet the car remained parked near his home. Fines tied to the vehicle in the Kuban area led to its confiscation.
The man discovered that a white Nissan X-Trail from Sochi resembled his own Angarsk car in every critical detail, including the license plate and VIN. Yet the Siberian owner uncovered documents showing the two cars were, in fact, different. Her Nissan ran on a gasoline engine, while the other vehicle allegedly housed a diesel engine from the south.
As Kub Mash reports, Irkutsk police have been weighing a criminal case for several months and are not convinced that two distinct cars were not involved in the incident.
Earlier reports described a Toyota SUV owner who for years faced the impossibility of driving the car in another city because a clone carried identical data. Meanwhile, experts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs concluded that both cars were original. This topic raises important questions about how often such situations occur and what a car owner should do if confronted with a double, as covered in reporting from socialbites.ca.
