In Rostov-on-Don, a car wash employee took a Porsche Macan left by a customer and ended up in two separate accidents while driving it. This incident was reported by the regional ministry of internal affairs on its official site.
The Porsche owner had left the car and the keys at the car wash with the plan to retrieve the vehicle the following day. Upon the Macan’s return, there were noticeable scratches on the body, the odometer had higher mileage than before, and the fuel gauge showed the tank was empty. The owner reported the event to the police, who then located and detained a 27-year-old car wash worker connected to the case.
According to the police, the defendant was employed as a car wash attendant and, on a certain day, decided to take someone else’s car using the client’s keys left behind. The police report notes that the man drove off in the vehicle to continue his work activities nearby.
The car wash worker struck the Porsche twice while driving it without the owner’s knowledge and did not inform the customer about the incidents. A criminal case was opened against him for theft in connection with these actions.
In a separate anecdote from Primorye, there is a report of a person who owned a car that was involved in a collision with a cat resting on the hood. This incident is distinct in nature from the Rostov case and is mentioned for context in local reports about vehicle-related accidents.
