Pesky Thief's Hilarious Attempt At Stealing A TV Was Caught On Camera

As always around the holidays, people are ordering their Christmas presents online. In the UK on a typical day, a driver has 150-200 parcels to deliver. That's about 30 parcels an hour in a 7-hour shift, or one parcel every two minutes!

Though, granted, it didn't go quite as planned...

Security cameras for endless entertainment

It seems the thief managed to get away with the TV, but not his pride thanks to the homeowner, Marsedah Diggs, whose security cameras caught the whole hilarious incident. Although, he couldn't quite see the humour as much as anyone else:

It was ridiculous. Everyone else who saw the video was laughing at the time. I wasn't laughing.

We don't blame him.
