The shocking way thieves can trick you into thinking you have locked your car has been exposed.
CCTV footage filmed in Menlyn Retail Park in Pretoria in South Africa's north-eastern Gauteng Province, shows how sneaky thieves can steal from a seemingly safely locked car.
A man saunters past a vehicle in a car park just as the female driver parks up.
When she opens her door to get out, he opens the rear door on the other side a tiny bit and then carries on walking past.
The car owner clicks her remote control to lock the car and walks off, not knowing she has really left her car open.
The thief who wandered off is soon back when the car owner is out of sight to capitalise on his trick.
He opens the rear door he left ajar and helps himself to a bag off the parcel shelf.
