But he left the engine running and the vehicle unlocked.
A crook then got in his car and drove off.
He was left distraught and went back in the store and watched the shocking moment on CCTV.

One local said: “Who the f*ck leaves the engine running.”
Nick said: “You left your car running, in a petrol station, in London.
“Genius.”
Another said: “This is peak, because insurance won’t even cover him as he left his keys in the ignition unattended.”
One chimed in: “This country is decaying by the minute.”
Someone added: “Respect to the brother who tried to help the DPD driver out and look for his car.”
