History has retained data on the first illegal action against movable property in Minsk, namely - the first in the history of the capital car theft, which took place on March 6, 1912.

The victim of the robbers was a wealthy merchant Shenderovich, who lost his Mercedes. Without special hopes that the car will be found, he sent his commander to St. Petersburg to buy a similar model. When the purchased Mercedes arrived in Minsk, it turned out that it was the previously stolen car of Shenderovich.
