A man has been left completely baffled after he accidentally left his car window down and an opportunistic thief broke into the vehicle - as they only pinched one Greggs sausage roll.
Dean Morris, 27, posted a video on TikTok where he recounted the "bizarre" incident, which happened after he had driven home to Llanelli from Cardiff to visit family and had parked up outside his grandma's house without closing his car window, Wales Online reported.
And when the cinema worker returned to his vehicle, he noticed that someone had reached through the gap in the window to break into his car - but had left all his valuables alone and had only taken the pastry snack.

He said in the clip: "Someone had seen my car was open, opened my car door, seen all of the important stuff in my car and thought, 'You know what? I'm gonna have his lonesome sausage roll.'
"I know I should be relieved that no one stole any important stuff. But this sausage roll was important to me. I was looking forward to it. It's so typical of Llanelli."
Dean, who posts under the username @dheanasaur, later told Wales Online that the incident was "the most Llanelli thing" he'd ever experienced - but noted that it was especially strange as Greggs isn't the leading pie shop in town.
He explained: "The oddest thing is if you're in Llanelli and buy a sausage roll, you buy it from Jenkins, the Llanelli pasty shop — not Greggs. I'd bought it in the services on the way.
"As soon as I said it was in Llanelli, everyone said, 'Oh, that does happen there.' I was only in for a few minutes so it was a very swift sausage roll stealer. I think if I reported it I might get arrested for wasting police time."
Dean set off from Llanelli on an empty stomach and headed to London to attend the MCM London Comic Con convention, and decided instead to buy a £3 meal deal from Tesco when he arrived.
The man picked up a Wispa Gold Duo bar for his snack, and joked that he would have been "tipped over the edge" if the supermarket didn't have any in stock after his disastrous morning.
He added: "They took the Duo off the meal deal range for a while, now it's back on. They're playing with my emotions. If it had been off the meal deal after the day I'd had, I think it would have tipped me over the edge."
