Naples continues to grapple with increasingly brazen crime. The latest incident occurred in the early afternoon of December 2nd on Viale Michelangelo, in Vomero, where a scooter purchased "at great expense" for a son was stolen in seconds. Surveillance cameras captured the entire incident, transforming that vehicle, a symbol of work and hope, into yet another example of citizens' daily vulnerability.

The victim filed a complaint and asked for help from Green-Left Alliance MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli, describing a feeling that has been spreading in Naples for some time: "It's an indescribable pain and anger. I bought this scooter at great expense. Thieves operate at all hours, in every area. Our country has become an El Dorado for thieves and criminals; they have an easy life due to excessive impunity and the chronic lack of police on the ground. We demand security and justice; we cannot be left alone."

Borrelli, along with Europa Verde municipal councilors Rino Nasti and Luca Bonetti, expressed solidarity with the citizen, denouncing a situation he calls out of control: "We are facing a constant emergency that we can no longer tolerate. The escalation in thefts, from cars to scooters, in broad daylight and in residential neighborhoods, is a sign of a state that is failing to guarantee basic safety for its citizens. The perception of impunity is extremely high, fueled by a system that often fails to punish in an exemplary manner. We need a massive increase in law enforcement personnel and a 24-hour territorial surveillance plan. It is unacceptable that honest citizens must live in fear, while criminals have an easy life."

It is not a problem of control by the police, but of non-functional laws, many of these individuals are already known to the authorities, but continue to commit crimes because they do not pay penalties.
