He subsequently did not use his vehicle again, and it was only the next day that he learned of the incident from his brother. While the latter was on his way to perform his morning prayer, he passed by Saamer's house as usual, but noticed that theBMWis strangely not parked in front of his house. So he hastened to call her to ask herwhere was his car.
