Get ready for a story that sounds like a bad movie scene but is sadly real in Podgorica! A 30-year-old Palestinian citizen, A.H., was caught stealing an Alfa Romeo on Sunday, July 13, around 1 PM, right outside a market in the Donja Gorica neighborhood.
How did it happen? The car owner left the vehicle unlocked, and A.H. took full advantage of this golden opportunity to make a getaway. The police acted fast — they tracked his escape route and stopped him in Nikšić, handing him over to the Podgorica authorities. The Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica has ordered a 72-hour detention on suspicion of theft.
This story raises a ton of questions about safety and common sense. How do you just leave your car unlocked in a public place? What’s going on with security systems in Montenegro’s capital? Is this just a drop in the bucket of problems or a sign that things are going downhill?
Meanwhile, social media is on fire with comments and jokes about this incident. Some wonder if next time thieves will start stealing houses, while others say this just proves that carelessness is the biggest enemy of every citizen.
Either way, this incident is a wake-up call for all of us not to take the security of our belongings lightly. Maybe it’s time to be a bit more careful, lock our doors, and not leave things on a silver platter for thieves. Or who knows, maybe next time the thief will steal something that can’t be returned — our safety and trust in the system.
