Did he get this idea from Bad Santa, because this is exactly what they did in Bad Santa.
It really is so stupid that it actually worked.
This 22-year-old dude in Poland woke up and chose idiocy that day. The would-be robber went to a local shopping mall when they were open and hung out for a bit until close. He then went into a clothing store and made his way to the window display where he attempted to pretend to be a mannequin in the worst way possible.
And I really mean worst way possible. Get a load of this guy.
Hahahahahaha… there ain’t no damn way. Let’s zoom in for a closer look.
Not even a mask! So brave. I don’t even think this man is wearing the same clothing brand as the other mannequins. I mean, does he NOT stick out like a sore thumb?! I will, however, give the guy some props, though, for the positioning of his right arm. Even if there’s nothing in the bag, it still takes some strength to keep your arm held up and out for a while. He almost deserves to get away with it, if we’re being honest.
After the mall closed, the perp ransacked a jewelry store and bounced. He got away with it! Kinda.
He did actually get away with it for a little while until my man got a little too greedy and went back for seconds. Amateur.
He used the same mannequin technique, and that once again fooled people before security busted him as he was having a post-robbery meal at a mall restaurant. Homie is facing 10 years in prison. Yikes.
Does anyone remember that awesome 80s movie, Mannequin, where the female mall mannequin comes to life, but only does so in front of one man who falls endlessly in love with her, but also sometimes gets caught fooling around with a mannequin because she turns back from human into dummy? Yeah, me either… me either.
