In the bustling world of second-hand clothing sales, the bundle business has carved a niche for itself in Malaysia.
Despite its altruistic mission of providing affordable options and aiding the underprivileged, the industry is grappling with an unexpected adversary – theft.
Caught on tape: Man swaps shoes to swipe
Recently, JBR Bundle, a prominent clothing sales centre, took to Facebook to expose an audacious thief caught on their CCTV cameras.
The footage revealed a man cunningly switching his shoes upon entering the premises, only to pilfer items meant for sale.
The irony is stark – a business designed to assist people in saving money is now contending with individuals attempting to exploit it for personal gain.
JBR Bundle shared through their post that this incident is not an isolated one, citing numerous cases in the current year alone. Law enforcement has been involved, with many perpetrators escorted to the police station.
Warning sign: Pay 5 times the price
In an effort to curb such incidents, JBR Bundle has displayed a stern warning in front of their store, stating that if caught, the offender will be required to pay five times the value of the stolen goods.
The Facebook post has sparked a lively discussion in the comments section, with Malaysians expressing a spectrum of opinions on the matter.
Some condemned the thief’s actions, with one commenter noting, “He treated the shop as if it belonged to his father.”
Others injected humour into the situation, with one person joking, “This is what one calls, swap to the one that we like.”
A playful comment read, “Your shop is my shop”.
