On Tuesday night, authorities in Uberlândia recovered a stolen boat that had gone missing on Saturday. The theft occurred when the homeowner inadvertently left his gate open while showering, allowing the thieves to take the vessel from his property in the Dona Zulmira neighborhood. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in home security and the potential for opportunistic crime in the area.

The police received an anonymous tip that led them to a rural condominium along the BR-365 highway, where the stolen boat was reportedly located. Upon arrival, officers detained five suspects aged between 23 and 40 years. When questioned about the boat, they were unable to provide any legitimate explanation for their possession of the stolen property, raising suspicions of their involvement in the theft.

After recovering the boat, which was equipped with a powerful outboard motor and various accessories, law enforcement took it to an authorized holding area. The suspects had their cell phones confiscated and were taken to the police station on charges of receiving stolen property. The homeowner expressed gratitude on social media for the support received during the search for his stolen vehicle, bringing some closure to a distressing situation.
