Strong opinions from Mzansi
@IshrhymezWords:
"What's the purpose of the boom thingy if it takes such little effort to move it?"
@joumasepost:
"CCTV IS USELESS, all it provides is a clip for us to see how things went down but you can barely see the suspects and this happens with all 98% of the videos. We just put it to feel better."
@Khumalo_mntungw:
"The best solution is to have your car insured."
@diqtux:
"OK, is there no CCTV footage of what happened inside the mall where the robbery took place?"
@Tsholo_Mokobe:
"@BMW_SA, kindly explain how your car was opened and engine switched on?"
