A Saudi man carrying SR300,000 ($80,000) in a bag lost all the money when he believed an unknown man and went to the back of his car to check a flat tyre. The man has just withdrawn the money from a bank in the western town of Makkah, stuffed it in his bag and placed it on the front seat of his car.

“When he got into the car, a man knocked at the passenger door and told him he has a flat tyre in the back,” Sabq Arabic language daily said.

“He stepped out and went round the car to check the tyre but it was in perfect condition…when he got in the car again, the man and the bag had gone.”
