“Car guard is blatantly ignoring the thieves as the car owner doesn't tip him at all. Car guards do this purposely to teach you a valuable lesson. The vehicle owner has learned the hard way to be nice to car guards.”

“What did the owner do to the car guard? Isn't you pay them when you are back?”
@Tilly_Tetelo commented:
“So what’s the point of these car guards? Clearly, we give them money for nothing.”
@ubekim reacted:
“And the car guard is just watching.”
@zito142 responded:
“Control center is just checking camera and nothing afterward.”
@kamoZA111 replied:
“Lost a side mirror a few months ago in similar circumstances, upon reflection I realised the strangers we often refer to as car guards are under no obligation to guard my car same way I am under no obligation to pay them when I return. The way forward- park in access-controlled parking.”
