Foiled smash and grab attempt!!

Video Source

This video is not my own, but it was doing the rounds on social media here in South Africa this week. The story even featured on breakfast radio, where I heard about it. I thus googled the video and decided to post it.

The car driver was visibly in shock on the video. The motorcyclist was interviewed on radio, and he said he just did this out of instinct. It seems from the video that the car driver was not very grateful for being helped, but the motorcyclist said on the radio that the driver thanked him afterwards. Apparently the driver of the car knocked the thief over with the car and also drove over the laptop, outside of the video footage, thus was quite shocked when he received the laptop back.

Smash and grab is quite bad here in South-Africa, one should never drive with any valuables in plain view in the car, e.g. on the front seat, as this will invite thieves to smash your window and grab your valuables. You should also keep your car locked at all times.

What would you do in a situation like this?

I hope you liked the post.

The video is not my own, I found it on the net, the source is given at the top of this post.

Amazing video @rynow!💙💚💙

well the one who was riding the motorcycle use the moment perfectly without thinking otherwise it would have been messed up

South Africans standing together. That's what we badly need here!

Agreed.

Hello Friend how are you? I do not think anyone knows what he would do in a moment so we have to live it and so you know how you react

Hello friend, it is difficult to say what I would do in a situation like that, since at the moment you react in a way that then you ask what I did? because I did not do such a thing? In my case I have lived very strong cases and I have reacted as no one has expected, so what I usually do is ask God to accompany me and protect me and if I have to live in an insecure situation that is the who guided my actions, besides not loading things of value that call the attention of the friend of the alien, excellent publication friend @rynow

Ámen, we need to pray for God's protection daily.

I hadn't seen this.. I didn't realize it was such a epidemic.. stay safe

Thank you, it is not really unsafe, one must just be careful not to entice the thieves.

The face said a lot of things too!

I agree!

I didn't heard about it.thanks for sharing

que curioso?

Sometime life takes you an unusual truth which hard to denied!

Well done, man! I'm sure the victim was in shock so being grateful was not high on his list of priorities!
god bless you my friend.

Agreed.

Good post dear.
