'Thanks, bike neighbour': Motorist switches off neighbour's running bike, leaves note and key under seat
A motorcyclist who accidentally left her bike's engine running was pleasantly surprised when she returned to find a handwritten note and her key safely tucked under the seat.
The note came from a thoughtful "bike neighbour", who had noticed the engine still running and decided to help switch it off.
TikTok user @claricenqn shared a photo of the message, which read: "Hi, you left your key at your bike and your engine was left on until evening."
"I've helped you to switch off your bike to save your battery. Your key is under your seat."
The note was signed off as "the motorcycle lot beside you".
In the caption, the motorcyclist expressed gratitude to the thoughtful stranger, writing: "I'll be more cautious, and thank you for looking out for my bike."
She added: "From newbie blue vespa owner."
She also said she was touched by the motorist's effort to leave the note for her.
The clip has since garnered over 29,000 views and 1,400 likes at press time.
In the comments, one user, identifying himself as the neighbouring motorist, greeted her and said he was the owner of the "red Yamaha Sniper" parked next to her.
Many netizens praised his good deed. "May the lights always be green for the fella," one said.
Others reminded the original poster to be more careful in future. One commented: "Stay safe queen, ride safe too. Imptly, don't forget your keys."
