Tire thieves in action in Buenos Aires during the celebrations for the victory of the World Cup. Bitter surprise for about twenty motorists
As happens (almost) always during a party there are those who manage to show their best side and those who, instead, find a way to mind their own business. The latest news episode, on this front, took place just a few hours ago, on the occasion of the public celebrations for Argentina’s victory at the World Cup (Fifa Qatar 2022). A real collective ritual that ended up “intoxicating” – literally – an entire country. The crowd that flocked to the street to celebrate the Albiceleste players, however, convinced the local authorities to prematurely end the city parade on board an open bus in favor of a helicopter. Meanwhile, for some supporters of Messi and his companions, a bitter surprise has materialized. The incident occurred near Avenida Teniente General Riccheri, the highway that connects Ezeiza, home of the airport, to the city center of Buenos Aires. A stretch supervised (more or less directly) by the Argentine Army, which monitored the crowd during the passage of the open bus. In fact, at least twenty of the more than one hundred cars left parked were the object of the attention of thieves, who focused their attention above all on the right rear wheel of various models. As can be seen in the video, the most “cool” motorists will have to replace at least two, while the luckiest ones were able to go home by mounting the spare wheel or wheel, if present inside their car.
a global phenomenon

Tire theft is a crime that does not only concern Argentina, also because the phenomenon seems almost directly related to the economic situation of the nations that record the highest number of cases. Even in Italy we certainly cannot rest easy, given the significant increase in thefts which, in this period, mainly concern winter tyres.
