Parents Using Public Electricity to Charge Their Children's Toy Cars

A shocking case of "electricity theft" has been captured, showing parents charging their children's toy cars in an apartment's underground parking lot.

On the 17th, a photo was shared on the automotive online community 'Bobaedream' Instagram account with the caption, "Now charging toy cars with public electricity."

According to the shared photo, a children's toy car is plugged into an outlet in the underground parking lot of an apartment, being "charged."

Electricity, categorized as a manageable resource, is considered property, and unauthorized use of public electricity can be punishable under the crime of theft. Recently, incidents of "electricity thieves" using electricity without permission in apartment underground parking lots and public restrooms have been reported, drawing public outrage.

The sight of parents charging their children's "toy cars" with public electricity has particularly sparked anger among many.

Citizens have reacted with comments such as, "What kind of wealth do you think you will gain by saving a few pennies on electricity?" "If you can't afford to charge that, you shouldn't have bought it," "That's a great lesson for the kids," "Many must be envious of free charging for electric cars," and "They'll probably go as far as parking in the electric car zone."

Meanwhile, on the 6th, a camper was caught using public electricity illegally near a public restroom at 'Daepo Port' in Sokcho City.

On the 11th of last month, a camper using electricity unlawfully from a public restroom left behind leftover food waste in the ocean, further inciting public outrage.
