The video footage is from the CCTV cameras at a sports equipment store that has of late been trending all across social media, especially Twitter. The video starts off inconspicuous, with a man just looking around at the equipment. Soon his friend and comrade join in by taking two golf clubs off the rack. He takes them to the side, out of view of anyone watching. The first man picks it up and proceeds to hide it in his pants. Yes, the first man lifts up his shirt and funnels the clubs down his pant leg!

The second man is on ‘lookout’ duty, ensuring no one sees the duo in action. He even assists the first in pulling down his shirt to cover up the stolen clubs. While both men checked to see that no one was watching, they were both fortunate and unfortunate. The store seemed to be empty, which was unfortunate for them; however, unfortunately for them, the duo had a CCTV camera pointed at them and was watching.

Once the clubs were safely hidden in the first man’s pants, the two pretend a bit more to look around before heading to the exit. You can clearly tell how uncomfortable the man is with his stiff leg movements, thanks to the club. It certainly seems like their lack of planning left them both uncomfortable and open to getting caught.
