A woman shared with social media users that thieves broke into her home, stole her TV and locked her inside.

Taking to TikTok to post about the unfortunate situation she found herself in, the victim of the robbery, Martha Nchimz Matyola, uploaded a video to her account (@marthanchimz) showing netizens her bare wall.

According to Martha, she woke up at 2am to switch off the geyser, only to find her TV gone. She also stated that the thieves, who entered through the window, locked her inside the house. Fortunately, Martha was not home alone, as the video shows two other people sitting silently.

It seems the thieves were more keen on the TV and skipped over the multiple sets of golf clubs, which can cost thousands of rand.

Netizens comment on theft

Hundreds of people took to the comment section to sympathise, share similar stories or laugh at the thieves' choice to take the TV instead of the golf clubs.

@bana_agapejoshua shared their traumatic experience:

"So sorry. This happened to me in 2021. I am still traumatised because I actually bumped into the thief as he was coming back inside the house to get more stuff."

@king_tattie was happy that nobody suffered injuries while also saying:

"I don't think they know how much golf clubs are worth."

@doosh716 wrote about a similar experience to Martha's:

"This exact thing happened to me some years back. They gained entrance through the window. We were more than seven at the time and no one knew when they came. We woke up and saw an empty wall."
