VZ update: Stealing oil from cars in the country with worlds largest proven oil reserves

Attention! The new modus operandi to steal oil from cars in Venezuela
Luis De Jesus

translated from Spanish

Caracas, December 22. - Citizens who have a vehicle have lived in hardship in recent months, not only because of the high prices of spare parts and maintenance products, but also because they must be alert to the risk that people with "bad tricks" they rob their tires, motors and others.

But that is not all. Even in the parking lots of the shopping centers it is safe to park. According to different complaints and warnings made by Twitter users, in these places there are those who are responsible for removing the oil to the cars that are parked there.

"Where have we arrived? New type of theft in the parking lots of the shopping centers in Caracas: steal the oil from the engines and the box. If you turn on your vehicle and hear a strange noise, turn off immediately, check the oil. You run the risk of losing the engine," warned a user in the social network.

"You realize that in your country there is nothing to do when you understand that you can not even leave your car for lack of tires and oil. If you have it, you can not leave because they are stolen in the shopping centers . No social life you can have, "criticized another user.

Also, another citizen commented: "Given the shortage and the overpriced in motor oils because of the destruction of PDVSA and our currency by 'the red and military gang', the cars are stealing the oil by removing the stopper while they are parked in shopping malls and other places. "

Venezuela is incapable of refining its own oil. The Chavista regime has utterly neglected the oil industry infrastructure to the point that they are now below 20% of their capacity in oil wells and refineries.

They have to import gasoline.
