ST 2 May
WHEN Audrey (not her real name) went to get her car on Thursday morning from the car park at her home, she found an empty lot.
For over half an hour, she combed all the floors of the five-storey car park in Block 125A Kim Tian Road in frantic search of her four-month-old Suzuki Swift but could not find it.
She covered the entire car park three times before giving up. Her brother drove her around the neighbourhood, but still, her grey car was nowhere to be seen.
The IT consultant finally made a police report that her car had been stolen.
Audrey, 35, said: 'It is incredulous... this is Singapore, I don't think it is that easy to steal a whole car like that.'
Audrey who bought the car last December for about $57,000, said she last saw her car on Monday afternoon when she parked it on the second-storey after returning home from work.
She was sure she had locked the car, which also has an alarm, and also wound up all the windows.
Audrey did not use her car for the next three days as she does not drive to work everyday.
It was only on Thursday when she was going to fill petrol at a nearby pump station that she found her car missing.
Police said they are investigating the theft of the car - an offence which carries the maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment and a fine.
