Theft of property from a car - what to do in case of theft from a car

Ways to steal from a car

Persons engaged in such activities may use several methods of theft from cars:

breaking windows and taking away valuables - this is the simplest and most primitive way;
use a scanner to open doors. The device hacks the car alarm and allows you to get inside;
if the attacker does not act alone, the group can enact an entire scheme. When you need to lure the owner out of the car, one distracts the driver, and the other steals property. This crime can be reclassified under Art. 161 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - robbery, if the owner of the car reveals the scheme, notices that he is being robbed, and tries to stop the attackers, or at Art. 162 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - robbery, if criminals use force against the owner of the car;
pick locks with a screwdriver.

What to do if it's stolen?

If you discover missing items, you need to contact the police. You can call 02 or come to the nearest branch. Law enforcement agencies must record the crime.

Note!
A description of the criminal, if you managed to notice him, or a recording from a video recorder can help in the search. In addition, it is important to talk in detail about the stolen items - describe them, indicate their quantity, value.

The idea that calling the police is a waste of time is wrong. Thus, the criminal gets a chance to go unpunished, and the number of violations of the law increases.

Personal property

People don't often leave valuables in their cars. As a rule, thieves will not open a car for the sake of a radio or its panel. Documents are also of little value. Usually they are taken along with other property, and then simply thrown away or a ransom is demanded from the owner.

The main target of the criminal is the things to be sold and those in which money is stored:

purses, wallets, handbags;
laptops, tablets, phones;
photo and video equipment.

Note!
Try to create a detailed description of the stolen items and attach it to your police report.

Someone else's property

If someone else's property is stolen from your car, you must act in the same way as with the theft of personal belongings - contact the police. When submitting your application, take the registration receipt or ask the recipient to sign, time and date a second copy, which you will keep. Be sure to contact the owner of the items, inform him of the theft, and ask him to describe the stolen items.

Wheels, mirrors or wipers

In each case, you must immediately go to the police department closest to the place where the loss was discovered. You must write an application addressed to the head of the department. The circumstances can be stated in free form, but Art. 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - theft. You will need to be given a document confirming your application has been accepted.

A response to initiate a case must be provided within a month. At this time, you should contact your insurance company to obtain compensation. You will need to have a document from the police with you confirming that your application has been accepted for consideration.

To protect yourself from theft, you can do the following:

purchase simple, cheap mirrors from online stores;
make an engraving on the glass so that thieves cannot sell the mirror;
put “fangs”;
install additional alarm;
make an imitation inexpensive mirror. To do this, you need to stick regular glass on top of expensive glass. This can be done using double-sided tape.

If your wheels are stolen, call or personally contact the police. Employees must go to the crime scene and record the theft. They will also conduct a search for evidence and invite you to go to the station to give relevant statements.

The application will need to indicate the make of the car, the serial number of the tires, the manufacturer and type of tires, the name and type of wheels. Additionally, the circumstances of the case are described - how you discovered the loss.

If your insurance includes a clause about wheel theft, you should contact the insurers. The company may refuse payment if:

the wheels were not insured as additional equipment;
theft of tires is not damage (this is reflected in the contract);
the car was in the parking lot without security (reflected in the contract).

Note!
If you are denied payment, contact a lawyer who can help you file a claim with the insurance company.

To protect your wheels from theft, you can take the following steps:

use a special bolt that can only be unscrewed with a special key;
leave your car only in guarded parking lots or in a garage;
install a tilt angle sensor in the alarm: as soon as the machine changes its position, the alarm will sound.

Wipers are not very expensive. The likelihood that no one will investigate the case of their theft by the police is quite high, but there is a chance that your appeal will help in solving other crimes.

Note!
If the insurance contains a clause stating that the theft of windshield wipers is included in the damage incurred, you must contact the insurers with a claim for compensation. It is drawn up in free form, and a piece of paper from the police should be attached to it.

How to protect yourself from wiper theft:

install cheap and simple wipers;
take them off at night and take them home;
paint the wipers, it will be difficult for thieves to sell them;
use a special nut and cap for it;
pour sealant into the nut.

Qualifying signs of a crime

The qualifying features of this crime are the following:

How do thieves choose time and place?

Most thefts occur in places where the car has been located for a long time, these can be courtyards, alleys, quiet neighborhoods, areas near offices. A thief can get to work according to a plan or spontaneously. After committing a crime, he will try not to appear near the yard or alley.

Note!
The most popular places for robbery are parking lots near shopping centers or large stores and gas stations. In these places, it is possible to track the movement of a victim who leaves his car for at least a few minutes. This time is quite enough to penetrate the salon.

How is it happening?

First of all, the attacker loosens the nuts on the wheel and lifts the car on a jack, after which the wheels can be removed without any problems. Often a group of people takes part in the theft, in which case they can roll the car to a quieter place for their plan. Another way is to use a rack jack.

Sometimes thieves use completely barbaric methods: using a piece of reinforcement, they simply break out stubborn bolts, which can result in damage to the calipers and fenders of the car. The theft takes from three to twelve minutes.

How to prevent theft from a car?

You can protect your property by following simple steps:

You should not leave expensive items, bags, laptops, phones, money (including small change) or anything else in the cabin that could attract a criminal. Even if your bag, briefcase or purse is empty, thieves can break the glass or break the lock, and this is an extra expense;
You should always make sure that the car doors are closed. Thieves often only need a couple of minutes to steal something. Even if you are away for a short time - to pay for gasoline, buy water or close the garage;
if the car remains on the street, it is better to park it or place it where it will be visible from cameras;
when leaving the car, you need to pick up or hide the radio panel, video recorder, radar detector and other devices;
the car must have an alarm system;
Constantly monitor your surroundings, notice anything suspicious, especially people near the car - someone stopped to tie their shoes, write a message, or is looking for something. When stopping at a gas station, look at the cars. The attackers position the car so that they can quickly leave; the engine remains on, and someone sits behind the wheel for a long time;
you should not demonstrate the presence of money. There is no need to count bills in plain sight, look at expensive items, or leave bags from boutiques in the salon.

No one is immune from the actions of thieves, but all drivers can follow minimum safety rules that can protect them from thieves. If you have become a victim of theft and do not know what to do, leave your phone number in the form on the website, and our lawyers will help you.

Tips to help protect your audio system

Very often, audio systems are stolen from car interiors. Dismantling them does not require much time and effort. Many people will be surprised how expensive such systems can cost. In addition, the head unit is responsible not only for audio, but also performs other multimedia functions and various options in the car.

Important! The audio system is the most popular item stolen from inside a car.

For this reason, criminals steal this particular item, then they can sell it entirely on the black market or in parts. Sometimes they hand over audio systems for disassembly - in this case, it will be much easier for the owner to find the stolen item. But you should understand that in this case it will not be possible to prove anyone’s guilt.

For this reason, many recommend using several methods to help prevent theft of your audio system:

Turn off the system. Then disconnect the front panel from it. Without it, she will not be able to work normally.
Activate the four-digit lock code that is issued at the factory. It cannot be hacked, for this reason it is advisable to store it in a safe place.

Hello. If he was charged under Part 1 of Article 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Hijacking), then this crime, in accordance with Article 15 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, is of medium gravity.

In this case, consider the following:

Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Article 74. Cancellation of a suspended sentence or extension of the probationary period

Clause 4. If a conditionally convicted person commits a crime due to negligence or an intentional crime of minor or moderate gravity during the probationary period, the issue of canceling or maintaining the conditional sentence is decided by the court.

Thus, after the criminal correctional inspection sends a petition to replace the suspended sentence to the court, the issue of canceling or maintaining the suspended sentence will be decided by the court. Also, no one canceled responsibility for the crime committed.

It is also possible to revoke a suspended sentence and impose a sentence based on cumulative sentences.

I hope I helped in resolving your issue. Good luck to you.

Hello Anna!

Stealing a car without the purpose of stealing is a criminal offense and liability for this is provided for under Art. 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. If the theft took place without the use of violence against the victim and without the participation of other persons, such theft should be qualified under Part 1 of the said article, which provides for a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison. The theft of a radio and speakers must be additionally qualified under Part 1 of Art. 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison.

Based on the totality of the crime, your boyfriend could receive about three to two years in prison. All this depends on the specific circumstances, the identity of the perpetrator, characterizing data, the position of the victim, etc. Therefore, what I wrote is very tentative.

DCP car, theft

January 2014. A contract for the car was concluded between the seller and the buyer.
The seller had a passport (as it later turned out to be fake), a certificate of ownership (real), and a title (real). The information in the documents was consistent. The car was not stolen, there were also other restrictions.

February 2015. The car is stolen from the buyer. And to this day she is wanted.

In July 2015, the real owner (not the seller) contacted the buyer and demanded the return of the car. There hasn't been a trial yet, but it's getting there.

Question:

Can the real owner, who has shown up, due to the theft and the buyer not having the car, demand a refund from him in the amount of the cost of the car.

Elena, you can demand a refund from someone who is found guilty of stealing a car, but not from a bona fide purchaser, who himself seemed to be without a car. Your buyer has nothing in common with the owner; the only demand he could make of him is the return of the car. But since the buyer does not have the car, it is impossible to replace this requirement with a refund. Good luck.

Lawyer: Kirill Voronov

No. The buyer purchased the car legally and could not reliably know its history. The one who caused the damage must be held responsible for the damage.

That is, those who stole the car from the first owner must compensate for the damage to him (NOT the buyer). If the car had not been stolen a second time, the first thieves would have been required to return the car to the first owner, and the one who illegally sold it would have been required to return the money to the buyer.

As a result, if the car is found, it will be returned to the original owner. The first owner cannot demand money from the buyer.

What should I do if my car is stolen?

Hello!
I have the following situation. In June of this year, a guy called me and asked if I was selling my car, and I was just about to sell it. We met, he and his friend looked at the car and took the key from me with my permission.

We didn't sign any papers. They worked on this car, started it, and after that no matter how many times I called, they only promised to give me the money, but they only gave me the key and, apparently, made a copy of it. Recently I discovered that the car was not at the house, and I could not get through to the guys.

That is, in fact, my car was stolen. At the police station they helped me call them, and this guy told me where the car was. I found it there, but the driver's door did not close at all. Later in the evening I found the car wrecked. Everything valuable was stolen from it, a radio, a carburetor, and the rear windows were broken.

I have a suspicion that it was he, that guy, who did this, in retaliation for the fact that I went to the police. This is called self-government. I have witnesses who saw these guys working on my car. I thought they were making it and would buy it soon.

The question is, is it realistic for me to win a car theft case in court and receive compensation?

Hello Danila.

In the actions of young people, if you did not allow them to drive a car, signs of a crime under Art. 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - theft. But this is difficult to prove if you gave them the ignition key, because... you allowed them to work on the car, and they will most likely claim that you allowed them to drive it, and they drove the car for repairs. If the key you gave them is not for the ignition, but for example for the door, then theft is easier to prove.

In any case, if the value of what was stolen from a car is more than 1,000 rubles, the fact of theft is seen here - contact the police with a statement, they will be required to initiate a case under Art. 158 uk, and maybe everything else will be installed there.

Sincerely.

It may be necessary to clarify for you. An acquaintance will not become innocent. If he committed a crime under Part 1 of Article 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, has no previous convictions, and compensates for the damage in full, then the case can be dismissed due to the reconciliation of the parties, if the victim submits a corresponding application to the court.

But the damage must be compensated in full. This is provided by law.

Article 76. Exemption from criminal liability in connection with reconciliation with the victim [Criminal Code of the Russian Federation] [Chapter 11] [Article 76] A person who has committed a crime of minor or medium gravity for the first time may be released from criminal liability if he has reconciled with the victim and made amends harm caused to the victim.

If reconciliation does not occur, the acquaintance will be convicted and the punishment will be as provided for in the sanction of the article.

Article 166. Wrongful taking of a car or other vehicle without the purpose of theft [Criminal Code of the Russian Federation] [Chapter 21] [Article 166] 1. Wrongful taking of a car or other vehicle without the purpose of theft (theft) - punishable by a fine of up to one hundred twenty thousand rubles or in the amount of wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to one year, or by restriction of freedom for a term of up to three years, or by forced labor for a term of up to five years, or by arrest for a term of up to six months, or by imprisonment for a term of up to five years .

Hello Alexandra. The actions of your friend will be qualified as a crime under Part 1 of Art. 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, unlawful taking of a car or other vehicle without the purpose of theft (theft) -

shall be punishable by a fine in the amount of up to one hundred twenty thousand rubles, or in the amount of the wages or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to one year, or by restriction of freedom for a term of up to three years, or by forced labor for a term of up to five years, or by arrest for a term of up to six months, or imprisonment for a term of up to five years. The owner of the car does not understand the law correctly and explains it to you. Your friend will be found guilty in any case if there is evidence of guilt.

But given that the crime belongs to the category of crimes of medium gravity, it is possible to terminate the criminal case after reconciliation of the parties.

Reconciliation is only possible if your friend has no criminal record. The conditions for reconciliation are specified in detail in Art. 76 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

For reconciliation, as the owner of the car told you, it is necessary that he be compensated for the damage caused to the car. He has the right to impose such a condition.

For reconciliation, a full admission of guilt is necessary.

If reconciliation is achieved, the owner of the car writes a statement to the court that the harm from the crime has been made up for, and he asks to dismiss the case for reconciliation. sides Your friend must write a statement of agreement with the termination of the case for reconciliation of the parties.

Applications are written and will need to be addressed to the judge hearing the case, because... At the stage of investigation by the police, the case will most likely not be closed.

If the case is dismissed, your friend will not have criminal penalties or a criminal record.

Tell us what to do, should we hire a lawyer or the government will do everything Svetlana

There are no “state” lawyers in nature. There are lawyers who do not have their own clientele and practice, and therefore work as directed by the investigator in accordance with Article 51 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. Run from them like fire. Unfortunately for me, these “on-duty” pocket lawyers only harm their client, as my practice in recent years has shown. Invite a normal, experienced lawyer.

It is necessary to reduce everything to Article 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Important: was the son interrogated by the investigator as a suspect with the participation of an “appointed” lawyer and what testimony has he already given? Or did he just give explanations to the operative?

If the latter, then it’s okay, the explanation has no evidentiary value. But if the first, and in the presence of a lawyer, the son testified about his intent to steal for the purpose of resale, this is already bad. But it may also be solvable. A contradiction immediately arises: if you wanted to steal and sell, why did you abandon the car?

There are other options for solving the problem by working with the victim, but we won’t talk about them openly.

The assistance of a professional lawyer significantly increases the likelihood of a positive outcome of the case.

if the radio tape recorder cost less than 2,000 rubles, then such an act can be recognized not as theft, but as petty theft, and then it falls under the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which does not entail a criminal record.

In this case, the decisive factor is whether related actions were committed that entail criminal liability, regardless of the cost of the radio. For a list of such actions, see this link.
