WATCH: Criminals are using this trick to steal from your vehicle without breaking in
Criminals are becoming sneakier as time passes...
Criminals work at lightning speed with their schemes. Just as you get the hang of staying aware and proactive to their antics, another one pops up and you feel bombarded.
This is why we try to steer clear of anything scam-like or crime related.
But that too can be difficult because as you scroll on social media, you are bound to be greeted by a crime-related story at some point or the other.
And so we have just decided that it's better to be informed rather than ignorant.
In a video we came across online, a man is seen lurking around a petrol station near some parked vehicles.
He seems suspicious to us because we are watching video footage of it. But to the man who parked his vehicle at the petrol station, he does not notice the stranger.
The man parks his vehicle and as he exits the driver's seat, the strange man then takes a chance and pulls the handle of the back seat door and pulls it ajar.
The driver is oblivious to his actions and continues to go about his business, which to us seems like walking to the garage convenience store.
This is all too nerve-wracking to watch, but it is a reality nonetheless. And something that needs to be shared so that we can all be more aware...
