Police are investigating after a young woman told them a man tried to steal her iPod as she listened to it while dozing in her car - as three young children waited for him.
The woman, wrote about the allegedly brazen daylight attempted theft on the Botany Town Centre Facebook page on Sunday and posted a picture of the alleged offender.
"If any of you go to Botany Town Centre often or live around there, read this. This morning around 10, my mum and I drove down to Botany Town Centre. I was being lazy cause I had a late night and an early morning so I stayed in the car to take a nap. My mum opened my window for me so I wouldn't suffocate, and left to buy stuff.
"I had my earphones in, iPod resting on my stomach, the seat was down and I had my sweet as new sunnies on. A while after I had dozed off, I woke up, opening my eyes. A person was standing right outside my window, their hand INSIDE THE CAR REACHING FOR MY IPOD."
She initially assumed it was her mother, the woman wrote.
