This shoplifter is painfully, hilariously rubbish

We don’t recommend you try shoplifting – in fact, we’d really rather you didn’t – but if you insist, then you’ll probably be hoping to do better than this.

Nice try from r/facepalm

‘Nice try,’ said Master1718 over on Reddit.

Love the woman’s applause at the end. Well deserved.

kaushrah: ‘I like that he didn’t try to fight or escalate the situation. Just took back what was stolen and went on his way.’

APintoNY: ‘Did noone else notice the person in the scooter try to stop them? Lol they just stuck their hand out, i thought that was what the video was about originally.’

Good spot! And just in case you were wondering (of course you’re wondering).

yeahilovegrimby: ‘What even is that that he’s stealing?’

ChesterSPL: ‘Looks like a Dewalt brand tool combo kit.’

Except there was an unfortunate PS, apparently the guy who retrieved the tool kit lost his job for breaking store regulations.

‘Policy was to not chase into parking lot but I was following around like 4 people that day and it was the heat of the moment,’ he said.

No good deed etc.
