Man was arrested for illegally occupying a shared car for more than a month

It is reported that Jin rented a new energy vehicle in March 2019. When he arrived at the return location closest to the destination, he did not park the vehicle in the designated parking space, plug in the charging plug, take photos and upload the app to complete the autonomous return of the vehicle as usual. Instead, he called the customer service number and falsely claimed that the vehicle could not be returned normally.

After the customer service staff confirmed the order information, they helped him return the car in the background! But when Jin saw that the order on the App showed that the car was returned successfully, he immediately removed the GPS card from the car, started the vehicle with the car key and drove away.

In the next more than a month, this time-sharing rental car was marked as a faulty car due to "abnormal return of the car", and other customers were unable to book this car on the App.

As for Jin, he used it as a personal mobility scooter. Not only did he not pay a penny for renting the car, but he also often parked the car at the car station for charging! After the car rental company reported the case to the public security organs, the suspect Jin was arrested by the Shanghai Songjiang District People's Procuratorate on suspicion of theft.
