A woman faced a husband of the motivated transformer because she targeted her car outside her home in Santa Clareta.
Ozi Fox said that the accident occurred early on Sunday morning, May 25, around 7 am
A security camera captured the houses on the suspects who were pulling in a black sedan who monitored the largest victim’s model Honda Odysse Mini Van, parked on the street.
Two male suspects came out wearing Hodis and ski masks from the car, lifting the truck and drew its catalyst in a few minutes.
Fox and his wife were at home and saw theft as happened. His wife went out to face the thieves while filming the accident on her cell phone. I heard an invitation to her husband to go out.
She stared at her direction while she was screaming, but they eventually escaped from the scene. Fox said the men seemed to be professional because the entire theft “took them less than three minutes.”
The authorities say that the theft of the motivation is prevalent throughout the country because the devices contain precious minerals, relatively easy to theft and lack the specific signs.
Fox and his neighbors said they were frustrated by the increasing problem. He hopes that by sharing his story, he is able to keep the other population on alert. He also wants to see a heavier law enforcement with more frequent patrols through his community.
“Sharif told us that there are more incidents on that day,” Fox said. “I know, at least in our area, there were a few cars [the suspects] He hits. They made it clear to us that these men can roam and expel dozens of cars in 30 minutes. “
Fox said he would cost him about $ 2,500 to replace the catalyst, which is more than the value of his work.
