Food Delivery Rider Expresses Frustration After Losing Motorcycle to Thief in Manila
CARNAP INCIDENT – A food delivery rider in Barangay 49, Tondo, Manila, lost his motorcycle to a thief.
On Tuesday evening (September 2, 2025), a food delivery rider has expressed his frustrations after losing his motorcycle to a thief. The incident garnered various reactions from the online community.
In the video, the rider parked his motorcycle before taking a short break. Moments later, a man in an orange shirt passed by the area several times, appearing to check the surroundings. He then sat on a nearby tricycle, carefully watching the parked motorcycle. After a few minutes, the man pushed the motorcycle back, started it, and drove away.
The victim, Dexter Deniega, shared that he had just finished eating and resting when he realized his motorcycle key was missing. Exhausted from a long day of work, he had forgotten to take it out of the ignition.
“Kumain ho ako, sabay pahinga konti para makabiyahe ulit. Nung kinapa ko ho kasi yung lagayan ko, wala po ‘yung susi. Wala na ho ‘yung motor dito. So, tinanong ko na po sa barangay yung CCTV kung baka nakita, ayun nga po nakita,” Deniega said.
When he returned to where he parked, the motorcycle was gone. He immediately sought help from the barangay, who reviewed the CCTV and confirmed what happened.
The motorcycle was not his but was only lent to him by his brother so he could earn a living. Dexter appealed to the suspect, saying that everyone is struggling and it would have been better to fight fair rather than steal.
“Kasi yung pinag parkingan niya po roon, kahit sino po pwedeng mag parking. Kasi, kainan po yung loob,” he added.

Barangay Chairman Ariel Dionisio said the suspect is not a resident of their area and that it was easy for the theft to go unnoticed because many motorcycles are parked in the area.
