la part du voleur


Explanation:
"Autrefois, sur cette ancienne route, de nombreux brigands sévissaient, pillant le chargement des camions là même où l'ascension devient la plus éprouvante. Ils prenaient alors d'assault des véhicules halletants, avaient tout le loisir de se servir à leur aise et disparaissaient avant le sommet. Il paraît même que certains prévoyaient la part du voleur dans leur chargement. "
