Eddie Villa thought his Cyber Truck had locked automatically, until a thief got in with just a touch. And it was all caught on camera.
"As I guess I'm getting my stuff, he's getting closer to the truck, but I didn't think too much of it," Villa said. "I walk away, and he creeps up and hits the door button to unlock it like this, and it just stays open."
It was about three in the afternoon, and Villa was making a stop at the Staples in Downey. He says he noticed a couple of suspicious people walking around his truck and in the store with him. When he realized he had forgotten something in his vehicle, he went back. That's when he noticed something was off.
"So as I'm coming out, I see the same first guy in the blue shirt walk away from my truck, and then I also hear my truck lock, which should've already been locked," Villa said. "So as I get closer, I look into my truck and see the center console open."
Eddie saw the man walking away with what he believes were his roughly $600 pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses. He says he's thankful they didn't have time to grab more things, but he wants others who use the autolock feature to be aware.
"Everybody's been telling me, 'You should be paying attention to hear it lock when you're walking away.' I didn't. I was thrown off, and I think I just got complacent," Villa said. "You know, I'm used to just walking away, and the truck locks on its own. So if anything, you know, listen to it lock or manually lock it, one of the two."
Villa says he has filed a police report with the Downey police.
