WOMAN RENTS NEW NISSAN ALTIMA AND LEAVES IT IN A MALL GARAGE FOR AN HOUR. SHE CAN'T BELIEVE HOW SHE FINDS IT
A TikToker named Isaiah (@_._isaiah) recorded a video of a Nissan Altima at the Houston Galleria Mall missing its four wheels, and thanks to TikTok, the theft victim responded.
“I’m at the mall and I just so happen to look over…look…look at their car,” Isaiah says, noting how the vehicle has been put up on what appears to be cinderblocks. All of the vehicle’s tires have been stripped clean off of the Nissan.
As he continues to move around and record the vehicle he notices that the situation is worse than it originally looked:
The front of the Nissan sedan appears to have dipped forward so that the bare rotors are resting against the pavement of the mall parking lot.
As it turned out, the person who rented the vehicle that was put up on bricks, April Davis (@april_davis0820) spotted the viral TikTok online and uploaded a response of her own where she wrote, “This is how Houston welcomed us.”
“So y’all, I’m in Houston… visiting,” she says. “We wasn’t even in the Galleria y’all, for an hour, probably 45 minutes…We came back out to our rental looking like this.”
Users who responded to her video seemed to have differing opinions on the phenomenon being a hallmark of the Houston commuting experience. One person wrote that this is par the course for the city: “Welcome to Houston baby. This is why all of our tires have locks!!”
