In an interesting incident of car theft, a man’s car was stolen by miscreant as the victim, leaving the ignition on, went to pee.

The car, a white Mahindra XUV 300 (PB10 HQ 4302), was stolen from near the Keys Hotel.

Victim Vinod Kumar, who was going towards Phullanwal, had never imagined that stopping his car on the road would prove so costly. As per the information, the incident occured on November 16 at around 9.30 pm. The keys were left in the car, and as soon as Vinod moved away, an unknown thief sat on the driver’s seat and drove away.

Two mobile phones, a wallet (containing cash and cards), important documents, business diary and bill book were also in the car, Kumar said.

The Dugri police have registered a case and are scanning CCTV cameras. The miscreant( has not been traced yet.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
