After he stole the woman's handbag, he gave it to a woman sitting opposite him. Another woman then walks to the table and takes the handbag.
Louis Fourie, who posted the video, pleaded for people to please return the car keys in the bag, as it would be expensive to replace.
Fourie said: "Biggest problem is our last keyless car key was inside and that is going to cost a few thousand to replace ...... thanks for this "awesome" start to Christmas this year… Willing to offer a cash reward to anyone coming across the bag (cream, soft with brown handles) with the car keys.”
