#NSTviral: LRT car park theft, Bandar Bukit Tinggi commuter finds car stripped of wheels
KUALA LUMPUR: A routine commute turned into a nightmare for Threads user Nani Jismani when she returned to her car at the Bandar Bukit Tinggi LRT station car park after work, only to find it propped up on concrete blocks with two wheels missing.
KUALA LUMPUR: A commuter's routine stop at the Bandar Bukit Tinggi LRT station car park turned into a nightmare when she discovered her vehicle had been stripped of its wheels. Threads user Nani Jismani shared photos of her damaged car on social media, expressing her shock at the theft. She had paid for parking and was dismayed to find the tires missing.
Nani noted that only two tires were taken, but another attempt was made to steal the front left tire, which failed due to broken wheel studs. The car door was left open as she had opened it to place her belongings inside.
Nani's car was equipped with standard factory rims, and while it had a dashcam installed, it did not record continuously. Fellow commuters echoed her concerns, with one user reporting that thieves had stolen all four tires from their car, even though it was parked inside a gated and guarded apartment complex. Despite the stolen rims being sold, police managed to recover the tires and arrest a suspect on August 20.
Nani praised the swift action of the Klang police, RapidKL Bukit Tinggi staff, and auxiliary police. She is now seeking compensation from the car park management.
