“We had been driving near West Street near the China Mall that burnt down when we were robbed. While in traffic my dad kept on looking in his rear-view mirror as we know that area is a hotspot for smash and grabs.”

“All of a sudden my father noticed a guy had opened the back of the bakkie somehow, we started shouting hysterically but he had already pulled the dress out.

“Another guy was with him and he just smirked at me. I had purchased the dress last year and was excited to wear it. But I would never want it back. It was so special and now I feel it has been tainted,” she said.

She however said she did not report the matter to the police.

“The justice system always fails us and it won’t bring my dress back,” she said.
