Vehicle owner foils attempted hijacking at mall parking
Updated | By Mack Rapapali Nights
The owner of a bakkie showed up just in time as his vehicle was being stolen.
Imagine walking out of a store to find your car leaving without you?! That's exactly what happened when a driver walked up to his car and found a stranger attempting to drive out with it.
A video has surfaced showing an alleged attempt to steal a car from a parking lot at a mall. According to the post on Facebook, the incident took place at a mall in Springs.

As the video starts, a grey Renault can be seen parking next to the bakkie and a male occupant comes out and unlocks the parked bakkie. Soon after, the suspect tries to drive the bakkie out of the parking spot before the owner comes running towards the car. The suspect then stops the car and abandons it to run back into his getaway car.
We can't imagine what would've happened if the suspect or owner were armed.
Watch the nailbiting moment below.
