The owner of a food stall, posted CCTV footage of a theft that broke out at his food stall onto his TikTok account, @jtsweee.
In the CCTV footage, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet was seen entering the stall and taking the money from his cash register.
Heartbroken
He captioned his video: “heart breaks every time I see him taking all the hard earned money…”
The man was seen in the CCTV footage appearing to be rather familiar with the stall and cash register, as pointed out by a commenter.
The thief was seen carefully putting aside some of the items on the counter, before emptying the entirety of the cashier, including the coins, into a bag.
12 hours of hard work gone in 5 mins
The stall owner lamented the loss, saying “12 hours of hard work gone in less than 5 minutes”, before replying to another netizen that “he (the commenter0 has no idea how much effort goes behind one bowl of pao fan”.
The stall owner added that he shouldn’t have left the money inside the cashier overnight, and that it was an oversight on his part and an expensive lesson learned.
