This is literally a recreation of one of those staged asian pranks, but made to look just a bit more real. Somewhat staged pakistani pranks?

Has ANYONE, of any race, wearing a hoodie up indoors or in good weather, ever been up to any good? England basically banned them indoors.

More like “thief realizes he’s caught on camera”... How would this situation ever be called “heroic?”

Right. You become a hero when you get caught and reverse what you did to save your ass. A truely heroic act.

Not really "becoming a hero"... I was expecting he picked the guy's pocket and pulled out a knife he was planning to use to rob the store XD

Does he think the camera is a god?

A good thief always scouts ahead of time for cameras and security presence.

Well then he needs to reevaluate his priorities. He could really be a great thief if he applied himself.

What I was hoping for was the thief saw a gun in the guy's waistband and stole that, so the guy couldn't rob the store

As someone that used to watch cc for work. The best sign that you need to watch someone is if they make eye contact with the camera.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

You can tell if someone is scouting. The BEST thieves know where the cameras are without them knowing his/her face

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I must have made so many security guards waste their time watching me then cause I tend to spike every camera I see

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

You can usually tell the difference. You probably just notice the camera and then move on. A thief looks for a camera and then for people.

I mean I'm not a thief but I look for all cameras etc, when I got to places cause it's a fun game and then you know where all the blind

It’s a dudes wallet, not merchandise

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Thats actually completely false, but keep thinking that. The way most laws are written simply trying to conceal an item while in the store

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is enough. Willfully concealing it proves your intent to steal.

There wouldn’t be a right thing to do if he didn’t do the wrong thing in the first place

8 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 5

You are absolutely right. He gets -5 for being a scumbag. But don't forget that he did deserve a +1 in the end.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 15

The ONLY reason he gave it back so was to increase his chance of not being charged. So he gave it back for only his own personal gain no +1

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

No plus one. Sorry.

Lol what? No. No +1s. Hew would only get a +1 cause he committed a - 100
