A man woke up to a nightmare after sleeping in his car, which was parked along the Federal Highway.
While asleep, the man was robbed and relieved of his possessions except for his handphone.
Nor Izwan Izzat had parked his car around 3 am and took a nap because he was too tired.
Guys, if you have to sleep in the car for any reason, please please please lock the door. I just got robbed last night and I lost my bag, bank cards, cash. Almost everything except my phone 😞😢

He only found out he was robbed after being awoken by a call from his bank at 7 am.
The bank called to alert him that some withdrawals and transactions had been made.
Sharing his predicament on Twitter, he said the incident happened near Shell and Petronas petrol stations near Batu Tiga, towards the direction of Shah Alam.
He sought help from social media, asking people to notify him if they came across his Coach bag.
He fears the thief might break into his home as his MyKad, house key and access card were stolen.
What my concern is my house key and access card was inside the bag. My IC also had my address and I’m staying alone. The management office is closed on weekends so I can only go to cancel my access card on Monday. For this time being I need to use a padlock.

He was also dumbfounded that the thief could figure out his PIN and withdraw money from the bank.
The thief also used his debit, leaving him with less than RM50 in several accounts.
Idk how he guessed my pin number to the ATM but he took everything and left me nothing. Some said aku kene pukau when I was asleep. I’m going to make a police report later and will be going to the bank he used the ATM at to check the CCTV 😢 pic.twitter.com/324SZ4LV4W
