They called on authorities to take more robust security measures to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
Some netizens shared similar experiences of their own, including one whose child parked their car outside a private hospital only to return and find two tyres missing
Another person said his relatives had all four tyres stolen in the same parking lot but was fortunately stopped by a KTM station worker before they could escape.
