Besancon *- "Although ill-gotten never profit" * This is a wise proverb which would probably benefited this unfortunate Bisontin if he had survived the dramatic misadventure which he suffered that night in the neighborhood of Chaprais. The tank of his car being almost dry and the city's petrol stations that might not be supplied due to the current blockage of refineries, Bisontin forty years nightly decides to anticipate the siphoning tank of a car parked in a discrete curve of a street near the train station Viotte. Although evil has taken him the vehicle in question was an electric car and a powerful electric arc quickly overcame the criminal intentions of the individual. Awakened by a strong smell of burning, residents quickly warned firefighters who, despite their rapid response, have done anything for the unfortunate.
