University student tests whether car guards protect cars

"Today, we are robbing cars to see if car guards actually do their job."

Stellenbosch student Tim Morrel went viral on TikTok for his 'lecture and mall concerts'. His attempts to bring laughter and lightheartedness to mediocre experiences make him a great content creator. 

That and his ability to keep things local ensure his videos do well. 

In one of his most recent shenanigans, he acted as if he was stealing his car to check if car guards protect vehicles. He was bold in his approach, risking his well-being in the process. 

Watch as he tests car guards at different locations in East London. 

We hope no one was harmed while making these videos.

Evidently, some of the car guards were invested in their jobs and protected his car. 

He may have revealed his cunning plan to the one who caught him, but watching it was entertaining. We knew this, but it was still funny to see someone from Australia ask Tim to define a car guard.

Ian Leung: "What's a car guard mate? I'm from Australia." 

Tim: "Basically, they are people who watch your car for you when you park it somewhere."
