Content creator Kinuthia has found a solution to car part theft that no security expert would ever recommend but every Nairobi car owner will completely understand. She removes her Toyota Harrier’s front grill every night and takes it to bed with her.
Kinuthia shared the moment on Instagram with zero shame, posing in bed clutching the grill like a teddy bear. Her caption said it all: “Heeh wacha nilale nayo naona wanakujia hadi ikiwa parking.”
The comment section exploded. Fans could not decide whether to laugh or related.
This is not madness. This is survival. Toyota Harrier grills are among the most targeted car parts by thieves operating in residential estates and public parking lots across Nairobi. A replacement costs serious money.
While the rest of us are budgeting for CCTV cameras and tracking devices, Kinuthia is out here building a personal relationship with her car parts. Unbothered. Secure. Sleeping peacefully.
