Trucks in our country are stolen less often than cars, however, at least once a month, Car-Online technical support receives requests to help in the search for another stolen truck.
Volvo truck stolen at night
So, on one of the January nights, attackers stole a Volvo RF-TRUCK 6X4 truck from the fleet of one of the customers of the Car-Online service. The first alarming sign was the disappearance of the car from the monitoring service screen, after which the head of the logistics department unsuccessfully tried to get through to the driver of the tractor for several hours. The very next morning, no one had any doubts about the need to contact the police with a statement about the theft of a Volvo tractor.
Truck search
Perhaps the victims in this story should be considered not only the owner of the car, but also the head of the logistics service - in addition to several hours spent at the police station, his morning was overshadowed by the accusation of theft, the anger of the boss, who threatened to recover the cost of the car from him, as well as calls from the wife of the missing truck driver. Fortunately, by lunchtime the driver was found: he called and said that on the southern outskirts of St. Petersburg, where he stopped, he was attacked and literally thrown out from behind the wheel. Despite the driver's statement, the situation did not improve much for the head of logistics: he was still at the police station, waiting for the police to finish "doing the work" or for the monitoring system to stop being silent.
It should be noted that the situation with the Volvo tractor is a classic, often used by hijackers, a scheme for seizing a vehicle associated with the use of physical force. As a rule, attacks of this kind are carried out by intruders at night in deserted places. In the event of a similar situation, trying to resist the attackers is highly discouraged: in most cases, the hijackers have weapons.
The hijackers used a GSM jammer
A mandatory attribute of most hijackers is a special tool: GSM - a “jammer”, the range of which reaches 15 meters (this distance is usually enough to neutralize not only the car’s satellite security system, but also the car’s owner’s mobile phone). Returning to the stolen Volvo, it should be mentioned that its owner took care of organizing the logistics of the fleet in advance by installing PGSM series GSM-autopagers on all cars, which allow tracking the location of the car and monitoring its fuel consumption in real time. Already in the evening of the same day, the car owner was rewarded for his foresight, and the head of the logistics service for his patience: the GSM tracker was back in operation. A police squad left at the address indicated by the system on the map.
The Volvo RF-TRUCK 6X4 truck was found by police officers in the evening of the same day in the parking lot of a small suburban village, 15 km north of St. Petersburg. No damage was found on the car. The GSM-autopager, thanks to which the car was detected, remained safe and sound thanks to a professional hidden installation: the attackers simply did not find it. The hijackers were not caught.
Acknowledgment of the owner

A stolen truck with documents, won a court case against the Central Bank before revoking the license and Brezhnev's grandson as co-owners. All these are details of the history of the Krasnoyarsk bank Yenisei. As Vedomosti found out, shortly before the collapse, a car was stolen from the organization that transported loan agreements.
The license from Yenisei was revoked on February 9. The Central Bank said that the bank pursued a high-risk lending policy, placing funds in low-quality assets. But 6 days before this event, an emergency occurred. A car was stolen from the bank, which was carrying documents to the head office: copies and originals. And among them were very valuable papers - loan agreements and credit files. And now the DIA may have big problems with collecting funds from the bank's debtors. That is, from those low-quality assets to which the organization has entrusted money. It is not known how much money is involved, but the scale of the problem can be judged by the fact that the truck transported the documents. Similar cases, when important documentation of a failing bank suddenly disappears, have happened before, recalls Maxim Osadchiy, Head of the Analytical Department of the Corporate Finance Bank: Head of the Analytical Department of the Corporate Finance Bank “There are also cases of computerized destruction of documents. The first is a bit rude, this is the “Holding Credit” incident, when the Tajiks dropped the server. The second case is more technically literate, when the servers were simply cleared of information in the Project Finance Bank. All this is done in order to cover up the traces of the withdrawal of assets from the bank. That is, this is a criminal withdrawal of assets, and is done as safely as possible for these creative workers.
There was a case and almost the same as that of the Yenisei. In 1999, the famous Menatep bank, shortly before the revocation of its license, also transported documents. And one of the KamAZ trucks sank in the Dubna River. The driver and attendants - wet from head to toe - told the traffic police that they were cut off by a foreign car, and the car fell off the bridge. The story was loud, Russian bankers remember it well. She was probably also familiar with the Yenisei bank, which has been counting since 1990. It was founded on the basis of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Soviet Promstroibank. Little was known about the bank until recently. He really became famous in 2017, when he began to sue the Central Bank and unexpectedly won. The court sided with the bank, partially canceling the Central Bank's ban on operations. In Krasnoyarsk, at the same time, they recall that not so long ago the owners of Yenisei changed, says Yulia Buiko, editor-in-chief of Business FM - Krasnoyarsk:
Julia Buiko Chief Editor, Business FM - Krasnoyarsk Bank Yenisei can hardly be called a regional bank at the moment. At least legally, in 2014 they sold almost 30% of the shares to Muscovites. As a matter of fact, few people in Krasnoyarsk know which Muscovites specifically. Before the revocation of the license, Yenisei sued the Central Bank, and as a result, the temporary restriction on the issuance of deposits, which was introduced earlier by the regulator, was lifted. Just a few days later, the bank's license was revoked. Just in the same interval, a truck with documents is hijacked with a purpose.
As for the owners of the bank, there are 15 individuals among them. One of them, by the way, is the grandson of the Soviet Secretary General Andrei Brezhnev. Although the bank was in the third hundred in terms of assets, it had a rather large network of branches for such an organization. The main business, of course, was in Krasnoyarsk. But there were offices in Tomsk, Yaroslavl, Kaliningrad, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, St. Petersburg, the Moscow region, Moscow. And it is not very clear where the car with the documents came from. Stolen in Pokrov. Probably, this refers to a city in the Petushinsky district of the Vladimir region. What a truck with loan agreements from a Siberian bank could do there is unknown. It is unlikely that the employees wanted to go to see the place of death of Yuri Gagarin, which is nearby.
For whatever purpose you need a car - in any case, if you do not have jammers and sufficient experience in finding beacons - it is best to let the car stand for a month. For this purpose, I do not recommend parking, as well as driving away to a neighboring yard. The best place for us is a garage. But which one, it already depends on the purpose for which you need a car.
If for a one-time business, then an iron garage without light, a pit and other luxury will do. If for disassembly or remodeling for yourself, it would be better to have a garage with a pit and light, as well as wide enough so that you can at least open the doors normally. It is best to rent a garage outside the cooperative, there are few of them, but they do exist. A co-op is always worse than a garage outside the co-op. If this is not possible and you decide to rent a garage in a cooperative, then before you pay off the dough for the garage, find out if there is a watchman and who he is (an old drunk or a meticulous grandmother), are there cameras in the cooperative, do they turn off the lights after 23.00? Plus, visit the cooperative at night and appreciate the situation. Almost after every hijacking, operas come to any cooperative and break through the watchman / chairman of the cooperative with information about the appearance of new guests.
It’s better to rent a garage for a drop that you don’t personally know, or for re-gluing yourself. Very often they don’t even ask for a passport, but in case they ask, then glue it to us to help. We do not give photographing / photocopying under any pretext, if necessary, let him rewrite the data, no more. It is better to pay immediately for the year, and count the lava from a thick cutlet. If this is not possible, we pay at least 3 months in advance. We coordinate in advance with the owner the change of locks to yours, or the addition of your locks. Inside the garage, in front of the gate, we hang a screen made of dense fabric, we close up all the cracks with something, so that no one from the outside can look into the garage and see what is there. It is better to keep the phone from which we agreed to rent a garage turned on somewhere far away from home and check it every 2-3 days, if there are missed ones from the owner, we call back and ask what we wanted, then we act according to the situation.
So, we have a garage, let's start choosing a chaise.
First, decide on the make and model of your car. After that, look for the car itself in the yards, I recommend looking relatively close to your garage if you steal at night. If you steal during the day and with an accomplice, then you can do it away from your garage, but this is at your own peril and risk. The first couple of times it's scary enough to drive a stolen car, so you can foolishly draw attention to yourself and get caught on it. How to find the car you need? It's very simple: we go out for a walk around the yards at night, and remember in which yards there are potentially suitable cars to meet your needs. When searching for cars, I advise you to choose 3-5 options at once, in case one of them cannot be stolen for some reason, you can switch to another suitable one. Check the yards in advance for the presence of cameras and their number, location, whether there are IR lights on the cameras and how good the lighting is at the crime scene and in the vicinity. I hope you don’t need to be reminded that you need to go around the area several times in advance and think about how you will act in case of “extraordinary” situations, so that if they arise, do not panic and act clearly and smoothly.
So, we found the car, studied the area, outlined the action plan in our mind and agreed with the accomplice (if any). To begin with, as a subject of theft, I propose to consider the VAZ, namely (2110/11/12).
Tool preparation
What do we need for this? Desirable:
code grabber
walkie-talkie(if you are with an accomplice, then there should be two of them)
crank(splinter, roll) and a master key of the "fan" type
How to make a twist? Carve it yourself! A hexagon is suitable as a workpiece, and preferably an impact bit made of good steel (chrome-molybdenum and chrome-vanadium), preferably from a well-known company such as Gedore, KingTony, Wiha, KWB, Stanley. First you need to grind off the blank so that it is as thick as a native key (we grind on the key blank). We sharpen without overheating the metal, constantly cool it with water. If you overheat - crank in the trash. As we grind to the desired thickness, we begin to grind the main grooves. The crank should be as similar as possible to the key blank, but closer to the base you can make it a little thicker. We make the transition smoothly, you can see how the rotation should look like in the photo. It is better to grind grooves with a drill.
If it is not there and there is no one to ask from, we work with needle files. After the crank has been machined, I recommend cleaning it until it is like a mirror, this will add strength to it, since there will be no microcracks, which means there will be less chance of breaking. The crank must enter the ignition lock in the same way as the key blank. effortlessly to the end. Before you go to work, I recommend making sure that the crank fits perfectly into the lock. At the VAZ we buy a SHORT key blank. We grind on it. With this twist, you can start both classics and dozens.
How to make a fan? The fan can be carved by yourself using a grinder or a grinder. I sharpened by eye, and everything worked perfectly. A fan is made from automotive probes for adjusting valves, which can be found at any car market.
Jammer GSM/GPS
Pepper spray(in case an angry owner or his neighbor / wife / brother / matchmaker runs out)
Poker(an electrode or a piece of thick wire, one end of which is bent at an angle of 90-120 degrees)
Dimensions of the "poker": length 30 cm, hook bend - 3-4 cm.
As a poker, you can also use a long steel ruler with a cut.
Can be dispensed with
1) twist (splinter, roll) and a master key of the "fan" type.
2) a poker (an electrode or a piece of thick wire, one end of which (5 cm) is bent at an angle of 90-120 degrees). As a poker, you can also use a long steel ruler with a cut.
3) gloves.
4) pepper spray (in case an angry owner or his neighbor / wife / brother / matchmaker runs out).
First, let's consider the option when we have everything that is "desirable" to have.
So you have everything you need to steal, and there are also several cars suitable for your needs. If there is at least one of them without an alarm, then I recommend immediately moving to it. If alarms are installed on all machines, then among them you need to find one that your code grabber can open. To do this, you calculate at what time approximately the owner arrives home, closes the car and enters the apartment. Usually this is in the evening (after work).
In order to catch the signaling, we need to arrive at the place a little earlier than the owner arrives and wait until he arrives and closes the car. At the same time, I advise you not to attract attention, because children with their parents can walk in the yard or grannies sit at the entrance, and a person hanging around in the yard can arouse suspicion. It would be ideal if you arrive by car and sit in it so that you cannot be seen. But in this case, take care that the cameras in the yard do not burn your numbers and faces. When the owner arrives, the code grabber must be enabled in scan mode and you must have an empty cell selected. When the owner closes the car, your code grabber will give you the appropriate signal. This means that the car is "at home" and you can go to work.
We remember the cell on which this machine is recorded and turn off the code grabber.
If the owner closed the car, and your code grabber did not react in any way, then he did not catch the car, this may be for two reasons: either your code grabber does not support this type of alarm, or you were too far away. In any case, I advise you not to try to catch this car next time, do not waste your time. Go catch the next one.
Let's say we caught the car we need. Now you can go to work. We take everything you need, pre-tune the radio to the frequency of the local traffic police department, if the radio is two-channel, then in parallel tune to the frequency of local police officers. If you are with an accomplice, and you have two walkie-talkies, then we tune them to any free frequency for communicating with each other. If at least one of them is two-channel, then we set the frequency of the local traffic police to the second channel. Do not confuse the main thing, otherwise the cops may suspect something when your accomplice warns you about a nix by their frequency)) I advise you to look for the frequency of local cops on the forums of radio amateurs, or scan the air yourself in the range from 148.000 MHz to 149.000 MHz
It is necessary to scan with a step of 025. Most likely, the cops are sitting precisely within these frequencies.
So, we set up the walkie-talkies, took the inventory, dressed for the weather (cap, glasses, hood), but if you go during the day, try to dress in such a way that would not attract too much attention. We got to the place. We lay out the "tool" in our pockets in such a way that you have quick access to it. The tool must be clean, free of prints and other marks. Is everything in place? moving forward.
We go to the car as if it were yours. The code grabber is already enabled, the desired cell is selected and the finger is on the "open" button. We approach the car, open it with the key fob.
We hear the cherished click of the central lock. If the car has disarmed, but the door is still closed, then it's time to get the poker. We hold the poker with the hook down, so that the hook is directed towards the door handle. Approximately in the middle, we insert the poker between the seal and the glass, we insert it almost to the end, after that we move it towards the door handle. When the poker has reached the door handle, then slowly lift it up. You will feel how the hook is hooked on something, this is what we need. lift the poker up and hear the door open. If we work with a ruler with a cut, then we will still need to catch the very thrust that we need to lift up, so for beginners I recommend a poker, even a girl can handle it)
The door opened, we sit down in the salon, close the door. If you work alone, I advise you to just close the door. So that in which case the process of escaping would be faster. We are in the cabin, now we need to start the car and leave. We switch the gearbox to neutral, and it's time to work with the ignition switch. When working with a VAZ, the front-wheel drive, I recommend starting with a master key like "fan". Personally, I start any such lock with this master key in 5-10 seconds. If possible, practice at home on a purchased castle. If the car started up from the fan, turn on the GSM / GPS jammer and go to the garage. In which direction to turn the lock, I hope no need to explain?
If you didn’t manage to start the car with a fan, then don’t panic. we hide it in our pocket and take out the crank. We drive the crank into the lock, while holding the steering wheel so that it does not rest anywhere, otherwise the crank may break ... We hold the steering wheel with one hand, turn the lock with the other, smoothly, without sudden movements. If you feel that it is too tight, return to the starting position, and then twist again.
This is called swinging. When the ignition turns on, turn on to start the engine. Be prepared for the fact that when the engine starts, you will have to manually return the crank to the "ignition on" position, otherwise the starter will remain engaged and burn out. So the car started up, turn on the GSM / GPS jammer light, stove / air conditioner, radio, and go to the garage.
Now let's consider the option when you have to act with the minimum number of tools available to each student.
So we have: poker, gloves, pepper spray, crank and fan.
To work with such a set of tools, you will have to look for a car only without an alarm. If you couldn’t find the right car without an alarm, then I recommend the following: We buy a radio call on the market (it is important that the radio call works at a frequency of 433MHz) like this:
We disassemble the part with the button, and solder a wire 17 cm long in place of the antenna. We collect everything back. Now we have an alarm jammer.
She will look something like this
Now, when you press the button, your "call" will silence the alarm. Now we find out what time the owner of the car you need arrives home, and armed with a jammer, we arrive a little earlier than this time at the crime scene. Upon the arrival of the owner, you press the button and do not let go. At the same time, I advise you to be 10-15m from the car, but try not to arouse suspicion.
Watching the owner. If your jammer works correctly, then the owner will not be able to close the car. We are waiting for his patience to end and he will simply close the car with a key and leave. After the owner locks the car with a key, you leave.
So now we have a car without an alarm, or a car that was locked and not armed. Time to get down to business. We take everything we need. We dress as befits a car thief, and move forward. Then we carry out the same manipulations with the poker, fan and crank that were described a little higher.
After carrying out these manipulations, the car must be delivered to a pre-prepared garage.
After the car was driven into the garage, we take off the terminals from the battery, and disconnect the cable from the alarm antenna. Usually it looks like a small black box glued somewhere on the windshield. Dropping numbers.
If you have GSM / GPS jammers, then I recommend immediately upon arrival at the garage, without turning off the jammer, disassemble the car and check for the presence of beacons. After we have done everything, we turn off the light in the garage, close it and leave. It will not be superfluous to put an inconspicuous seal on the garage doors (gates). When you let the car settle, we return to the garage. We check the integrity of your seal, if it is broken, then someone was in the garage without your knowledge. I advise you to quickly retreat from there and never return. If everything is fine, we go into the garage and carry out the manipulations you need with the car.
Do not want a Zhiguli? Then let's look at the theft of some American cars. Since we do not have the necessary tool, we will consider stealing those models that were produced without an immobilizer. In fact, almost all cars produced for the American market before 2004-06 come without an immobilizer.
We will consider the following models:
chrysler 300m before 2004
dodge intrepid before 2004
chrysler sebring before 2004
And Cadillac escalade before 2004
Let's look at Chryslers and Dodges first. I think we won’t be able to find these cars without an alarm, so I immediately advise you to get a code grabber or at least an alarm jammer (which we know how to do).
We'll need
1) a code grabber or at least an alarm jammer.
2) cranking (splinter / roll), the one that we did for dozens will do.
3) gloves.
4) pepper spray.
5) slotted screwdriver.
So you found a car, recorded its alarm in the cell of your code grabber, or with the help of a jammer forced the owner to simply lock the car with a key, it's time to get down to business.
If the car is on a staff, and staffs are rare, then I advise you to immediately look for another one, because the alarm on American cars operates at a frequency of 315, and our home-made jammer will not be able to affect this alarm in any way.
We act in the same way as with the "ten", brazenly and confidently go to the car. If we are with a code grabber, then we already know how to get into the salon, if not, then we approach the car, take out a screwdriver and pry the door handle with it, from below, stick it right between the handle and the door, do not be shy.
After we got into the salon, we hide the screwdriver and take out the crank. We drive it into the ignition and start the machine. Remember how? Smoothly, without sudden movements. These locks spin quite easily, so I believe in you. Remember to return the lock to the "ignition on" position after the car has started. so as not to burn the starter.
We steal the Cadillac Escalade according to the same scheme, only we will not need a screwdriver. If the door was not opened with a code grabber, then we work with it by cranking! Under the Cadillac, you need to prepare a separate crank, machined according to the profile of the native key. The door works just like the ignition, smoothly and without sudden movements. You can try your luck on a Jeep until 2004, but I personally didn’t check them at work, although the components there are the same as those of Chryslers and Dodges, so it should work, but the doors are different there, so we work with them by turning! I hope you're lucky!
Are you a patriot and do not like America? But the domestic auto industry also does not inspire confidence in you? Then what about Japan? I propose to consider the Mitsubishi L200 Sportero.
This is a good enough car, it is like a regular L200, only cooler for the Arab market. They are usually very fatty. How is it different from the usual L200? Sporteros usually have chrome bumpers (not always), and the back is usually written L200 Sportero. But also not always. The usual L200 bumper is either black or in the color of the car.
Finding such a car is difficult, but they are. Of course, you have already found this car, and you want to know what we need to steal?
We'll need
1) Your code grabber or at least our homemade alarm jammer.
2) Neodymium round magnet with a force of 150-200kg.
3) Long power screwdriver and normal short screwdriver, both slotted.
4) Turning machined according to the profile of the key.
5) Gloves.
6) Pepper spray.
We already know how to deal with the alarm, we either catch it with a code grabber, or use a jammer to force the owner to lock the car with a key and leave.
Now we do not worry about signaling and go to work. We took everything we needed and didn't forget anything. If you are with a code grabber and your machine is in your cell, then consider that we are already in the cabin.
If not, then we take out the crank, and work with the door lock.
It is necessary to twist smoothly, clockwise, it is necessary to turn literally one sixth of a turn, maybe less, and the door is open! We are already in the salon.
If you are confident in the strength of your crank, then you can also work with ignition. But if I were you, I wouldn’t waste time in vain, because the crank can break, and then you still have to act according to the following scheme: first of all, we take off the cover from the steering column, this is done quickly, if possible, before doing it, practice on a friend / neighbor / rental car. Mitsubishi Pajero IV is also suitable for training. After we threw off the cover, below we will see a round platform located a little to the left of the ignition switch. We hang our magnet directly on it. Hanged?
Check the steering wheel, it's already unlocked! After that, using a long power screwdriver, we break off the contact group, which is screwed to the ignition switch, it is most convenient to crawl up to it from above, inserting a screwdriver between the steering wheel and the dashboard.
Contact Group. If you are not sure that you can break off the contact group, you can bring your own, and just connect it instead of the one that will be on the car. But I want to warn you that the native contact group is pulled out of the connector is very cumbersome and inconvenient, so it's better to break off the native one, it's faster and easier.
Broken contact group? Now we take our short screwdriver and twist the contact group with a screwdriver. That's it, the car started up, we're going to the garage!
Trucks are stolen less often than cars, but their loss hits the victim much harder. Most often, KamAZ trucks, usually dump trucks, are stolen. The next in the ranking of the popularity of hijackers is construction equipment - cranes, concrete mixers, concrete pumps. This is followed by trucks Volvo, Scania, MAN.
The damage from the theft of heavy-duty or construction equipment is already comparable to the losses from the theft of expensive foreign cars, the difference is that elite cars are vigilantly guarded, and construction sites, at best, only under the supervision of pensioners. This is a seasonal type of criminal business. The average cost of a truck is 1.2 ... 1.4 million rubles, a concrete mixer - 3 ... 4 million rubles, a tractor, if it is imported and almost new - up to 1.5 million rubles, a roller - 6.5 million, an excavator - 9 million rubles, a bulldozer, an asphalt paver or a truck crane (and this is the most popular type of stolen heavy equipment) - up to 12 million rubles.
The annual damage from the theft of heavy equipment exceeded one billion rubles, which corresponds to the budget of the city near Moscow. Moscow and the region are among the leaders in this criminal business, but only a small part of stolen special equipment ends up on neighboring construction sites, and stolen vehicles emerge not only throughout Russia (usually in the North), but even in Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and recently in the North Caucasus, and these are Ingushetia, Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria. And also Sochi, because there is a construction boom and demand is great.
There is always a need for construction equipment, but in order to buy, for example, a new Ivanovets truck crane, you will have to stand in line for several months. For more acceptable terms, they will take an overpayment of up to 30%. You can, of course, rent a crane, but this is unprofitable for long-term construction, since the cost of rent may exceed the price of the machine itself. This is how demand arises, and agile hijackers provide supply.
Real professionals are engaged in systematic hijackings, because hijacking a heavy truck is a very complicated matter. It is necessary to track down the object of theft (often custom-made, up to color), calculate a convenient time (mostly at night). Usually they know in advance which alarm is installed and how to neutralize it - to jam with an interference generator or immediately disable the unit (with a satellite positioning system). Then you need to drive the car through police posts and deliver it to the "sump", where it is modified as much as possible - they interrupt the numbers, repaint, change the superstructure, and so on. Russian technology does not cause any particular problems in this - most often the numbers are simply screwed on the plates that are sold in the spare parts store. The last stage in the hijacking, but not the last in terms of complexity, is the production of new documents. The quality of fakes is such that often even experienced experts cannot distinguish a fake from the original.
Owners of heavy equipment can only hope that in case of hijacking the criminals will be detained in hot pursuit, as recently in the Krasnogorsk district of the Moscow region, where at night the criminals stole three concrete mixers at once. A traffic police squad tried to stop one car, but the hijackers did not stop. On the radio, the orientation was transmitted to the nearest traffic police post. When two more concrete mixers did not stop, they organized a chase. Seeing that it would not be possible to escape, the criminals fled into the forest. All three cars were returned to the owner, but the hijackers were never found.
Sometimes thefts look just funny. Employees of the Kemerovo traffic police went on the trail of the truck hijackers on ... candy wrappers, and they found the car and the thieves even before its owner discovered the loss. ZIL was hijacked by two young people who were delayed in the city, who did not want to get home on foot at night. The car "begged" to be stolen - the doors were not locked. On the way, the truck broke down and caught fire. Frustrated would-be hijackers climbed into the booth and found alcoholic cocktails, cigarettes and sweets. Grabbing a little bit of everything, the accomplices got away. When the traffic police discovered the flaming car, it was not difficult to find the intruders - the road from the scene in the direction of the place of residence was strewn with candy wrappers. This is the third car stolen from the same entrepreneur, who, by the way, did not explain why the truck was open.
Trucks are stolen even in broad daylight. At about 5:30 pm, a KAMAZ-65115 was stolen from the Prism shopping center in Novo-Devyatkino, its cost is 1.1 million rubles.
Two Chinese Shaanxi dump trucks were stolen between 13:00 and 14:00 from a residential building in the Nevsky district.
In the area of the Obvodny Canal embankment, an unfamiliar man, under the pretext of helping to sell a Scania car, took a truck, and so far its whereabouts are unknown.
Often the purpose of the theft is the cargo, not the vehicle. So, two trucks with frozen fish were stolen: KamAZ and DAF cars were loaded at a warehouse in Pushkino, then they were supposed to proceed to Samara. Trucks with fish did not arrive at the designated point. The cost of the cargo is 3 million rubles.
In Kupchino, a Volvo car was stolen with a trailer containing 25 tons of frozen meat. The truck under unspecified circumstances left the protected area on Sofiyskaya Street, the amount of damage was estimated at 1.5 million rubles.
Recently, cases of theft of special equipment have become more frequent. The “next” Volvo tractor “left” the owner, and armed unidentified persons stole it. The damage was estimated at 2.2 million rubles.
Theft on a grand scale: managed to detain and condemn the first hijackers of special equipment. The bandits specialized in KamAZ trucks, concrete mixers and cranes. The gang of natives of the North Caucasus and Georgia consisted of 13 people and since 2004 managed to commit 12 robberies and robberies in the Moscow, Vladimir and Tver regions. From the special equipment stolen during this time, you can make up a whole fleet of a powerful construction company. The scenario according to which the criminals acted was worked out to the smallest detail. The bandits received an order for construction and trucks, which were found on the construction market. They negotiated with the owner of the heavy truck about renting a car, not skimping on an advance payment, and when the truck arrived at the agreed place, the driver was tied up at gunpoint and taken to a secluded place in a forest near Moscow. While the gang members interrupted the numbers, prepared fake documents and drove the equipment to the customer, the driver was held, then taken away and released.

Car theft is a very serious crime, participation in it is punishable by a fine of up to 12 years in prison in accordance with the Criminal Code (CC) of the Russian Federation. Liability depends on the specifics of a particular crime.
Theft and punishment for it
Article 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation describes car theft as unlawful possession of this transport, but without taking into account theft.Different countries mean different penalties for car theft. This list indicates the minimum (fine) and maximum (jail term) allowable punishment:
For the panel of judges, it does not matter how the car left its original location. If you push the car out of the garage with your hands a couple of meters, according to the law, this is considered theft. The motive or purpose that was pursued during the illegal seizure of transport is taken into account, but does not affect the very fact of the existence of a crime.
If the car was stolen by one person without threatening the life of the owner of the vehicle, then the court may appoint the following:
- fine (120,000 rubles);
- restriction of freedom (up to 3 years);
- arrest (up to 6 months);
- imprisonment (up to 5 years);
- community service (up to 5 years).
- fine (200,000 rubles);
- community service (up to 5 years);
- imprisonment (up to 7 years).
Penetration into the interior of a car in order to illegally take possession of it (given the absence of a full-fledged act of theft due to circumstances beyond the control of the criminal, such as a malfunction with the ignition system, a damaged engine, missing wheels) is still considered a crime and carries a punishment in accordance with the criminal code. It is called attempted theft.
When is theft considered a crime and how is it classified?
The concept of hijacking has already been discussed above, but there are some controversial situations. Theft is not:- the driver used official transport for personal purposes;
- the car is used by relatives or friends of the owner, provided that the owner of the car has allowed these people to drive it before;
- possession of the car was made in order to help a seriously wounded person, detain a criminal, any similar cases of emergency.
- theft (art. 166);
- theft (art. 158);
- robbery (art. 161);
- (Article 162).
The purpose of stealing is not always a sale. While embezzlement anything implies the ultimate goal of profit from the sale of the stolen.
Theft can be committed both secretly and openly, with the use of violence (physical or moral) against a certain person, with a selfish goal, which is to seize the benefits of the victim. In this case, such acts are called robbery or robbery. The difference lies in the fact that robbery, unlike robbery, does not carry any serious threat to life. Robbery is the most severe form of theft.
If the theft of a car occurs in connection with hostilities, in the event of any natural disaster or man-made disaster, this is called looting.
Penetration into the interior of a car by deceit, through persuasion or requests, and after stealing a vehicle (or an attempt to do so) is called fraud and is also punishable by criminal punishment, as a kind of theft.
If any of these crimes was committed in tandem with the theft of a vehicle, then it will be considered under two articles of the criminal code at once - theft and theft, respectively.
Unlawfully obtaining car spare parts for your own use, such as a tape recorder, license plate, wheels, is also a crime and is punishable by the appropriate punishment under Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as it is another type of theft - theft.
What to do when the car is stolen?
When you notice that the parking space is empty and the car has been stolen, you should immediately call the police. It would be a good idea to contact the police department yourself and write a statement to the district police officer. The sooner this is done, the greater the chance that the car will be able to find and return.Upon arrival of the investigation team, you will be asked to write a statement about the theft and indicate the most accurate circumstances of the incident. Sample application you can.
If there are valuable items in the car, you should also indicate them. You also need to submit documents confirming your right to a car (certificate of car registration and registration certificate).
Most likely, you will have to leave the documents for the car and the keys to it with the police. Do not forget to take a receipt from the employee who seized the documents.
Before accepting the application, the police will check if your car has been towed to a parking lot. If not, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will accept your application and issue a special registration number to the case. This number should be remembered, and it is best to write it down and store it in a safe place, this will allow you to be aware of the progress of the investigation, to find out if there is new information on your case. You will be assigned an investigator who will collect all the necessary documents and data, including:

Don't forget to deregister your car so you don't have to pay vehicle tax until the car is found. To suspend the registration of a car, you need to contact the traffic police and submit a document confirming that the car is really stolen.
An example of a burglary case

At the places where trucks were parked, they were looking for cars suitable for theft.
During the trial, the defendants pleaded guilty to the crimes committed. In total, they stole 3 trucks worth 5 million rubles.
The court sentenced two of them to imprisonment for 2 years. The last offender was given a suspended sentence.
Not all criminals received the same punishment. The last of the hijackers received a suspended sentence, because he was only an observer and did not participate directly in the process of stealing cars.
