He fell into the trap: thief takes a counterfeit bill for trying to steal tips from a restaurant
There is no doubt that as opportunities present themselves, some humans will bring out the worst in them. Just as it happened to a subject, who when he saw the opportunity to pocket a ticket, he did it without hesitation.
As expected, everything was being recorded by security cameras, since the man was in a restaurant in the Polanco neighborhood, in Mexico City, when it occurred to him to steal a ticket.
In the video, which was shared on networks to display the subject and ask for reports if people see him, it is observed how, as soon as the restaurant staff is neglected for a moment, the guy takes the opportunity to put his hand in the box of the tips.
Cleverly, the guy took out a bill and kept it, to then leave the place very relieved of grief. We don’t know how he thought no one would see him if it’s the law in business to have cameras.
MISERABLE RAT… DECEIVED!
This is how this guy stole a bill from the tip box of this cafeteria, in Polanco @alcaldiaMHmx
What I didn’t know is that it was a counterfeit bill that the employees put there.
If you locate this subject stealing, please report it to @SSC_CDMX either @fiscaliaCDMX pic.twitter.com/a8GqUnsOYh— Carlos Jimenez (@c4jimenez) November 22, 2022
The most curious thing is that the fraudster was defrauded, since the bill he took was false and was used as a trap into which he vilely fell. In other words, it wasn’t even worth doing the bear of stealing and exposing yourself to being discovered.
The images were shared with the authorities so that an investigation could be opened against the subject. In addition, they served to alert other people of the “customs” of this type and to be careful if they came across it.
The video circulated mainly on the social network Twitter and provoked the reactions of many Internet users, who left comments about it, the most notable being the following:
Even if the ticket was false, the important thing is the dishonest action, because it is very low to steal even the tips of a worker, so we hope that he has had justice or, at least, a karma.
