City police are warning drivers, especially truck drivers, to park in parking lots after a wave of tire and wheel thefts.

Last Thursday morning, a long-distance truck was parked in a temporary parking belt near the ramp of Xupu Bridge in Pudong. The two drivers, who had transported a cargo from Nanchang City in Jiangxi Province to Shanghai, tried to drive off to deliver the load after they awoke at 9am but the truck would not move.
