A resident of Bihar secured his newly bought Mahindra Scorpio by placing it on his house roof, a quirky anti‑theft measure that has attracted widespread attention online.
A video circulating on social media shows a man from Bihar positioning his brand‑new Mahindra Scorpio on the roof of his home. The unconventional setup was intended to keep the vehicle out of reach of thieves, who often target parked cars in residential areas.
The homeowner explained that traditional security measures had failed in his neighbourhood, prompting him to devise this makeshift solution. By elevating the SUV, he hopes to create a physical barrier that discourages opportunistic theft.
The clip quickly went viral, drawing comments ranging from amusement to admiration for the ingenuity of the "jugaad". Local authorities have not commented on the legality of the arrangement, but the video has sparked a broader conversation about creative anti‑theft strategies in India.
While the method may not be practical for everyone, the incident highlights the growing frustration among vehicle owners over rising theft rates and the lengths some are willing to go to protect their assets.
