A family in Bihar lifted their newly bought SUV onto their house roof using a crane, aiming to keep the vehicle safe from potential theft.
A household in Bihar resorted to an unconventional security measure by using a crane to raise their brand‑new SUV onto the roof of their home. The vehicle, still fresh from the showroom, was positioned high above ground level to make it harder for thieves to access.
The decision reflects growing concerns over vehicle theft in the region, prompting the family to adopt a method more commonly seen in construction sites than in residential parking. By elevating the car, they aim to create a physical barrier that discourages opportunistic theft.
Neighbors and passersby observed the operation, noting the sight of a heavy crane maneuvering a luxury SUV onto a rooftop. While local law enforcement has not commented, the episode underscores the lengths some owners are willing to go to protect valuable assets.
