One man’s search for items left outside HDB flats has led to him ‘getting lucky’ – at the expense of a new mother. 

The latter, who lives in Sengkang, shared two videos on Instagram page Sgfollowsall on Friday (Jan 12).

In the caption, she said “the idiot” had stolen her confinement meals that were hung outside the door of her HDB flat on Jan 4.

“A police report has been made,” the woman said, adding that this thief had stolen a parcel from her two days ago.

“This guy is neither my neighbour, nor someone who stays at this level. He was also seen wandering around other floors.”

In the comments, several netizens criticised the man for stealing from a woman who had just given birth.

“How dare you?” one of them said, while another said that this man has caused inconvenience to the residents living in the same block.

“This mother just gave birth but you took her food that’s meant to heal her body,” a netizen said.

AsiaOne has contacted Sgfollowsall for more information.
