A Moscow resident uncovered a crime in Kazakhstan but unexpectedly found himself under investigation.

Despite this, the rightful owner did not cease his search. Through social media, he discovered that his Mercedes was in Uralsk and, judging by the photos, it remained intact. The man then traveled to Kazakhstan. For several days, he roamed Uralsk until he spotted his car parked near a billiard club. Waiting for the evening, he used his original keys, got behind the wheel, and headed back to Russia.

However, at the customs checkpoint, he was detained by the transport police of Kazakhstan. The current owner of the vehicle reported it as stolen. During the inspection, fake license plates and documents were found in the trunk of the car — an old passport belonging to Malkov, but with someone else's photograph.

As a result, the Mercedes was placed in an impound lot. Malkov was prohibited from leaving Kazakhstan, and a criminal case was initiated against him under the article regarding self-justice.
