On the trail of stolen cards.

First card usage detected  at Anjur Service Center , on the eastern express highway from Kalyan to Thane. Swiped for Rs 500 fuel . No one at Anjur recalls the transaction. But this gives an idea about which way the thieves went because this service center is on return side of the road and it was during the early morning hours.

Assumption is that they dropped the the stolen vehicle somewhere beyond this point and on the way back at 6.15 am next day they went to the  petrol pump. Most probably another escort vehicle was following -- the Pajero  had a full tank (90 litres) with a range of more than 1000km.

We searched most of Bhiwandi and Kalyan. No trace yet. Usually the thieves park the stolen vehicle in residential parking lots for a 'cooling period'. This is what the police are saying. We are keeping a watch on Bhiwandi junction.


Next they used the card at Mangaldeep men's store Vashi on the same night around 9 pm. Two charge slips were found, both without signatures. Dumb character at the counter is not co-operative. May be he knows the guys who did it , or he is scared of police. KiNG (inspector from Yellowgate) thinks he is scared.
