Thieves try to steal South African MP's car wheels at parliament

A South African politician has found his car resting on bricks at the supposedly secure car park at parliament in Cape Town.

Opposition Democratic Alliance MP Mark Lowe said he was "astounded" when he returned from holiday and found someone had tried to steal his wheels.

The silver sports car was jacked up on bricks and the wheel-nuts loosened in preparation for removal.

A police spokesman said nothing had been stolen, showing security was good.

"If it wasn't, the tyres would have gone on the first day the car was left," police spokesman Vish Naidoo reportedly told a Cape Town newspaper.
