“Nobody Heard Anything”: SA Confused As 6 Cars Get Damaged in Johannesburg Parking Lot

• A video showed six damaged vehicles lined up in a Johannesburg apartment complex parking lot
• Four cars suffered massive hits, while two had minor damage, but none of the cars had alarms on
• South Africans questioned how such a big incident went unnoticed and where security was during the chaos

A parking lot mystery has left South Africans scratching their heads after six cars were damaged at a Johannesburg apartment complex. The incident happened at The Parks Lifestyle Apartments in Riversands, and footage of the aftermath was shared on 21 December 2025 with the caption:

"Imagine one of the car owners just discovered all this through social media that their car is damaged 😭😭😩"

The video showed someone driving through the parking lot, recording the line of damaged vehicles. Four cars in the middle of the row took the biggest hits, while the first two got off with less damage. The first car was still standing straight in its parking spot, but the others had been knocked sideways from the impact. Some vehicles were pushed completely out of their parking bays and over the lines. The last car in the row had its back bumper destroyed very badly, and all the cars showed dents, breaks and damage to either their front or back ends, depending on which way they were parked.
