Relaxed lunch turns to tears as woman returns to empty parking bay in eMalahleni
Car theft remains on the rise in eMalahleni following a recent incident that left a woman devastated after a quick lunch cost her, her wheels.
A woman’s relaxed afternoon took a terrible turn as she returned to an empty parking bay instead of her car.
According to the police, a woman reported that she had gone to eat at a local restaurant last week when she was introduced to the worst nightmare of her life afterward.
The woman said she had parked her white Toyota T-Cross in the parking area at a local shopping centre and gone to eat. Upon her return, her vehicle, including a laptop, was no longer there.
Witbank SAPS spokesperson Sergeant David Ratau urged all motorists to be cautious when parking their cars in public spaces.
“Close and lock all windows and doors when you park, park in well-lit areas if possible, and you must never leave valuables in your vehicle, especially if they can be seen from outside the vehicle,” he said.
