Ezvan had parked the vehicle in the downtown area. Minutes later, when he returned, the glass was broken. The steppe and a GPS unit were taken.

 - I was with a fellow journalist in a bar. The car was open and took the GPS and steppe. In France do not usually take the steppe. We were a little shocked, but that's okay, it's the World Cup. We are used to a bit of vandalism - Aurélien Ezvan said that police report has not registered in the Civil Police.

In the 1998 World Cup, a team of the newspaper "O Globo" was the victim of a similar theft in Paris.Journalists left the bags in the car to do the registration and, upon returning, found the vandalized vehicle and without the bags.
