When it comes to stealing, there are people who are too ingenious who use methods that we would never have thought of, although nowadays they have to be more agile, since most places have cameras and it is easier to be discovered. With technology, anyone can be caught red-handed, like this man who tried to steal some sneakers by exchanging them for his used sneakers. However, a store employee caught it and decided to record it for display.
The tiktoker elessdeivid shared the video under the title How when you want to steal in the Coppelwhere a store employee discovers a man trying to steal some sneakers, approaches him and asks him to please return them.
Trying to pretend that the tennis shoes he is wearing are his, the subject feigns surprise and asks the woman “What’s wrong?”.
How what happened, sir? The shoes were changed. Or not?
Faced with pressure from the woman, the client opens some shoe boxes on a shelf, until, desperate and annoyed, the employee approaches and takes out the box where the man had left his used tennis shoes.
Although the man initially denies the attempted robbery, as soon as the woman hands him the box, he sits down to take off his tennis shoes and return them. While the man exchanges shoes, the employee asks a person to call the police, to which the client replied:
But I can pay you, no problem. It’s like I’m shopping.
Faced with the man’s proposal, the employee replies that she was not buying them, that she was trying to steal them. While the customer insisted on making the purchase, the woman asks him to remove his mask to take a photo.
The man refuses to remove it, justifying that it is not possible in the face of the contingency, then a woman arrives who seems to be a relative of the man, who reproaches the employee that they are not ways to record the subject.
The recording of this man’s act has managed to get more than seven million views on TikTok, a site where most users reproach not only the robbery, but also the attitude that the subject takes when discovered.
In the end it is not known how the situation ended, if the police were called or if the man paid for the tennis shoes, what was clear is that the sports shoes that the client was trying to leave were not in very good condition. In addition, the person assured that he had enough money to buy them, so there was no need to try to steal them.
