Thugs Caught on CCTV Stealing Some VW GTI Headlights, Mzansi Peeps Left Defeated: “It’s a VW Thing…”

• A brazen thug was caught on CCTV stealing headlights from a VW GTI, which left Mzansi feeling defeated
• Crime runs rampant in South Africa, with many hijackings taking place, but this kind of crime isn't as common
• SA peeps were shocked by the bold act and discussed how this seems to be a common theme with this type of car

A not-so-subtle thug was caught on CCTV stealing some VW GTI headlights with what seems to be a crowbar.

@VehicleTrackerz uploaded the short clip that showed the dude completing the task in mere seconds. The Twitter post drew the attention of peeps concerned about GTIs, with someone even sharing a snap of multiple GTIs having their headlights stolen.

This type of crime may have shocked some peeps, but theft involving vehicles is quite common in the country. According to News24, carjacking is rising, with more cars being stolen on South African roads than in 2020.
