Would you believe it? A police car has been carnapped in front of the police station!! Our situation is really getting worst! Even in a police vehicle can even dare to be stolen by any individual, and what’s worse is that the police car is in front of the police station! Yes! it is indeed true that a police car of Quezon City Police Precinct has been stolen last October 11, 2007. According to news, P03 Crisostomo had some sort of indigestion or stomachache and went to toilet and left the key inside the car’s ignition for mobile’s battery is weak and is left with engine’s on so that if they had emergency respond they can easily go on. This is a realization that even a police cannot lax on their status. This incident is a perfect example that undervalue any single moment because accidents are just round the corner…. unavoidable circumstances really do happened!
