GAUTENG — Some things are too fantastical to believe, such as taking your car to an electrical mechanic for a small fault the one moment, only to return to find it burnt to a crisp the next.

This was the case for an unlucky Jaguar owner in scenes making the rounds online after being posted to X.

Trip to electrical mechanic turns disastrous

The @VehicleTrackerz page shared a video of the disastrous eventuality after the flames were put out with a caption that read:

Though it is unclear where the alleged incident took place, the car owner can be heard lamenting the disaster.

In the presence of armed men believed to be law enforcement officers, he details arriving at the workshop before later leaving on the mechanic's instruction.

"Here he is. He sent to go and buy wiring. When I got back here, the car was up in flames. It's completely burnt; scrap. My Jaguar has been reduced to scrap!"

He points out a second car, whose lights were damaged from being near the burning Jaguar, adding he had another parked vehicle outside.

One of the officers can be heard asking if they were all his cars.

He said I should leave to get wires, while he was sorting the connection. When I got back, [flames]. I've no choice but to take it to the scrap yard. It's beyond repair"
