A new wave of car thefts is impacting France, with thieves now targeting entire rear seats instead of traditional valuable parts like catalytic converters. The thefts are concentrated on specific models, notably the Citroën C3 and Renault Clio. According to the French auto publication Caradisiac, this trend shows no sign of slowing down. The stolen seats are reportedly in demand on the black market, though the reason for this demand remains unclear. This shift represents a brazen new tactic in vehicle crime, causing concern for car owners. Authorities are investigating the surge in thefts and attempting to understand the motives behind this unusual crime spree.
