  "account": "An Indian woman residing in the United States was left in disbelief after learning that her brother had been targeted in a peculiar car theft incident in a residential parking area. According to a post shared on X, all four wheels of his vehicle had been removed while it was parked overnight.

The woman recounted the incident in a video, explaining that her brother discovered his car without any wheels when he awoke.
