What did social media say?
An Instagram user, reacting to a clip shared on the platform, wrote, “I dried three sets of my undergarments outside the apartment, very new, and in the mid-day, those are gone. Since then, I have never dried my undergarments outside. One day, a man also tried to steal my husband's Burberry T-shirt, and I knocked at my glass door while holding my phone. I taped him, and he ran. Not that, my plants were stolen too.”
