The owner of a white Kia left three high-value bags in their car overnight on Friday, which were later found by Car Wash Bièvre. Despite not knowing how to contact the owner, the car wash carefully placed the bags on the car to avoid damage. However, the incident went viral on Facebook, as photos of the car covered in trash spread quickly. Car Wash Bièvre operator, Steve Poiret, explained that the car wash is frequently used as a dumping ground by passers-by, but this particular incident involved a non-customer. Steve searched the bags for an address but found none, until he noticed the polluter’s car parked nearby. He retrieved the bags and filed a complaint, with the offender risking a fine of €500. Steve hopes that the incident will raise awareness regarding littering and prevent further incidents where people dispose of their waste in nature.
“️ Notice to the owner of a white Kia. You forgot 3 high value bags overnight from Friday to Saturday around 2am. Fortunately, we were able to find your vehicle. Unfortunately I did not know how to warn you. We have gently placed your bags on your car so as not to damage them. “
On the social network Facebook, the publication of Car Wash Bièvre and its surprising photos (the white vehicle in question whose roof and windshield were invaded by bags of trash) spread like wildfire. “In addition, as the car was parked on the side of the main road, it was well exposed. “, explains the operator Steve Poiret who is regularly the victim of this kind of behavior. Hence his reaction.
If it is located in the rue des miseries, this is not a reason to take its establishment for a discharge. “As the car wash is equipped with vacuum cleaners, it is not uncommon for people to empty their vehicle and throw away a lot of things. I have already had to file a complaint several times.“
But this time the cheeky night owl wasn’t even a customer of the station. He arrived at 2 and stopped only to get rid of his filth. Bad calculation, it was filmed. Steve searched the bags for an address, without success. But that was before realizing that the polluter’s carriage was parked a few hundred meters away. We have already seen more skilful discretion.
If Steve went all the way there to fetch the trash in a flashy fashion, he also filed a complaint. The man risks a fine of 500 €. “As for the publication on the networks, it is a way of sensitizing the public.” And if he hopes that his “buzz” will hit the mark, Steve admits to being afraid that, the next time, the sans-gene will evacuate his rubbish in nature. “We see so many wild dumps. “
Let this serve as a reminder to everyone that littering is a serious offense and has consequences. The actions of one person can have a detrimental effect on the environment and community. We applaud Steve Poiret and the Car Wash Bièvre for taking a stand and raising awareness on this issue. Let us all do our part and strive to keep our surroundings clean and beautiful. Remember, every little action counts towards a better future for all.
