Just like that, the goods were swiped out the car from the front seat and the offender was on his way.
Luckily, this moment was captured by CCTV footage and the licence plate could be seen by the authorities.
We have so many questions...
Was the car not locked? Where was the driver? How did he spot the bag?
It appears as though the man dressed in work clothes including white pants, brown shoes, and a striped shirt was eyeing out this victim.
Cruising away in his personal vehicle, this felon has many perplexed with his stylish fit and vehicle. Thus proving that appearance means nothing when it comes to crime.
Always take care of your belongings no matter where you are parked and do not leave valuables in clear view (the front or backseat).
