    It is surprise to see large quantity of vehicles were theft/robbed and our criminal police force was just watching??? I think there may be some dispute among robbers themselves so one of them might have reported to police or the police may be getting less goose or these robbers might have stopped giving goose in other words may be genuinely police caught these robbers who knows. God only knows. Thou shall not steal.
