Audio recorded on the dashcam of a stolen luxury minivan. The dashcam also recorded the theft of the luxury car. ■The whole story of the theft of the luxury car was caught on dashcam Two "Alphards" driving in a line in the middle of the night. The dashcam of the car driving behind shows the two cars ignoring red lights and running at 85km/h on a road with a speed limit of 40km/h. Footage recorded on the dashcam of the stolen car. The car driving in front also appears to be a companion. The driver: "I'll follow you for now." The conversation was recorded on the dashcam because the mobile phone was on speaker. The driver: "Nice, this is great!" "I can do it!" The man in the front car: "This is easy, right?" The criminals can also be heard calling each other's names. The driver: "Mikkun, you idiot, it's easy, let's do it together." The man in the front car: "Trump, look at this." The recorded voices are of two men. It seems that "Mikkun" is driving the car in front and "Trump" is driving the stolen car. Around 12:30 a.m. on the 6th of this month, a parked car was stolen by someone. The car that was stolen was a Japanese luxury car, an Alphard. The victim said, "I bought it in one lump sum in October last year. I bought it for about 7.5 million yen." The footage from the dashcam begins right after the men steal the car. Trump: "I can turn." Because the road is narrow, they cannot get out of the parking lot in one go, and the footage shows them struggling. Trump: "I can go, I can go, go, go, go." The Alphard shown in front is the car that the men are believed to have come in, and is the same model as the stolen car. Trump: "Nice, it's great!" They don't stop at the red light, they just keep going straight. ■A code on the dashcam? The mysterious word "Gasajo" Mikkun, who is driving in front of me, seems to know that there is a dashcam installed... Mikkun: "You'd better not talk too much in that direction." At that moment, a police car passes in the oncoming lane. Trump: "Oh no, the police are here." Trump is shaken. But soon... Trump: "I can do this!" Mikkun: "This is easy, isn't it?" Trump: "Mikkun, it's easy, let's do it together." Mikkun: "What's wrong?" Trump: "Mikkun, it's easy." Mikkun: "Yeah." Mikkun is Trump who is easy to steal cars from. The names of other friends also pop up. Trump: "Jaguars are difficult, though." Mikkun: "That guy is kind of difficult to steal." Trump: "He's kind of difficult to steal." And more... Trump: "How many minutes until Gasajo?" Mikkun: "Six minutes left." Trump: "Yes. I'll follow you for now!" A code-like word, "Gasajo," pops out. It is assumed that "Gasajo" is a place to look inside the stolen car. Perhaps he is in a hurry, as his driving gradually becomes more reckless. Navigation voice: "Sudden steering has been detected." He brakes suddenly to slow down, and turns the corner while swerving into the opposite lane. Trump: "There's a lot of stuff in the car. At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything valuable in the car. Oh, some coins. There's some money in there. Just a little." Navigation voice: "Sudden steering has been detected." Trump: "Sudden steering has been detected." He continues to ignore traffic lights, and drives recklessly at 85km/h on a road with a speed limit of 40km/h. He slows down at a red light, but... Trump: "Are you going to obey this (signal) for now?" Mikkun: "No, I'm going." Trump: "Are you going? Got it! I'll follow you!" Navigation voice: "Sudden acceleration has been detected." Trump: "Hahaha, did you hear that? I could hear the squeaking. This is so much fun." ■Even a "souvenir" for changing the license plate... As we approach a place called "Gasajou"... Trump: "No, no, let's go a little further. You can see me on the road behind you." It's about 2km in a straight line from where the car was stolen. We arrive at our destination. Why does the dashcam footage of the men's voices exist? Victim: "My business cards and things like that were scattered around here. My baseball equipment and personal belongings were already left behind. The dashcam was there." The men removed the dashcam and dumped it along with the victim's personal belongings that were in the car at a place called Gasajo. They had returned to the victim from the police. A man who appears to be Mikkun arrives at Gasajo and gets out. A man who appears to be Trump, who had gotten out and was waiting for us, is seen making some changes to the number plate of the car in front. Before parking, the car's number plate was "669", but after that, the number plate that was filmed was "668". The number at the end had changed from 9 to 8. After that, the two began looking around inside the stolen car. Trump: "Trunk OK." Mikkun: "Did you look under the trunk? It's under there!" Trump: "Looked under there." Mikkun: "Trump, look at this. I don't need the vehicle registration. Yeah, I don't need this." Trump: "No, it's better to have the vehicle registration, just in case. Shall I put the things you want to take home here?" Mikkun: "Yeah." The men rummage through their valuables. On the screen, they are seen carrying a golf bag. At the end, the dashcam is removed and the video ends. Victim: "The caddy bag itself was a hand-me-down or keepsake from my grandfather, so I wanted to find the culprit quickly, but at this point I was just angry." The police are investigating the case as a theft and say, "It was a crime committed by multiple people, but the number of people has not been identified."
