A well-crafted deception
The story of Camilla, an 86-year-old woman living in Novara, is an example of how vulnerability can be exploited by unscrupulous criminals. Posing as carabinieri, the thieves managed to trick her, convincing her to hand over all her jewelry and precious objects. This episode, which initially seemed destined for a sad ending, took an unexpected turn.
The moment of awakening
About twenty days after the theft, while Camilla was cooking, she heard on the news that the police had recovered several stolen jewels. To her great surprise, she recognized her precious objects broadcast on TV. “Damn, this is my gold!” she exclaimed, realizing that her sentimental possessions were not lost forever. This moment of revelation marked the beginning of a new hope for the elderly woman.
The recovery of valuable goods
After contacting the police, Camilla was able to get her jewelry back. Her wedding ring, engraved with a significant date, represented an indissoluble bond with her husband who disappeared in 1956. Camilla's testimony, collected by the program "Pomeriggio Cinque", highlighted not only the recovery of the goods, but also the emotion and joy of having back what had been stolen from her. "When I called the police, their amazement was palpable," she said.
The dynamics of the theft
Camilla also described how the thieves managed to trick her. Taking advantage of her vulnerability, they entered her home through a connecting apartment. “They told me there had been a burglary and that they had to check the safe,” she explained. This ploy left the elderly woman in a state of confusion, allowing the thieves to act without being interrupted. Her testimony is a warning to everyone: caution is essential to avoid falling into the scammers’ traps.
