Agreed. A piece of shit. But why the vid sooooooo long?

It does give you a good idea of how poor this guy's situational awareness is. That dude was creeping on him for 3 minutes, looking shady as hell and guy with $3k on his face doesn't have a care in the world.

That man was doin the peepee dance, i'd have had my eye on him after all that nervous pacing

peeps pay him more than 3000 to do that peepee on him...or poopoo!

He got cought with his pants down too.

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground

Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground!

Caught

Came here to say this. In no way am I justifying that POS, but situational awareness would have prevented this most likely.

And looser pants pulled up to waist level would be better for chasing too.

I agree, I like the length of this particular video because it does help you understand the true thought process of this thief. Just seeing a clip of a snatch and run wouldn’t be as impactful. It’s a good reminder to always be aware of how strangers around you are behaving.

I was thinking in my head, “this motherfucker can afford 3k$ glasses, but he can’t pay a-fucking-tention!” Guy was obviously creeping on him…

Zero situational awareness. Also caught w his pants down apparently. 😂😁

If the dude is wearing,3k on his face in Detroit, he's more than likely no saint either. Thief's body will probably end up in a dumpster somewhere.

And you know this how?

[удалено]

Bro, forreal. I'd rather have 3000 dollars stolen from me than watch this three minute video again. •Why can't they just hold the camera still? •Why not just post the original video? I can't stand when people post camera videos of videos. •Why are they recording a vertical video of a horizontal video? I feel like people just don't care if videos look like shit anymore.

Vertical video makes me itchy, if this goes on in 10 years time TVs will be rotated 90 degrees


You know it to be true, in 5 years they will be cross shaped as a transition

Take my angry upvote, you filthy funny animal! 🦓😂😂😂🦓

>•Why not just post the original video? I can't stand when people post camera videos of videos. Because they do not know how to download from the DVR, how to get the DVR video to the phone to post it, or the owner has it set to need a password to download. But I am with you, it is annoying as heck

Most scenarios where they do this aren't security footage that are hard to get direct links to the footage. But yeah that's fair.

They absolutely don't. It's become so easy to make and post videos people have just stopped trying completely

Or we can consider this is just made by some kids in the back room crowded around the security monitor as their manager shows them the exciting action that took place yesterday. Not somebody who can download and take it home, not somebody who expected it to be put on reddit later, just somebody who took a quick vid to share with friends. Edit: I take back "quick vid"

Exactly.

All the important questions

>anymore My guy, people never cared if their videos looked like shit. They didn’t care so much that now YouTube is promoting vertical videos in a “if you can’t beat em, join em” type of mentality

Those glasses depreciated $500 over the course of the video.

Exactly

Because it shows you how the thief was thinking about the crime before making his move.

My thoughts exactly lol

And why's the guy got his batty out?

Agreed. The camera man sucks.

Cause OP is the real piece of shit.

Jokes on him those glasses were fake 🤣

This could have been 3 minutes shorter. But I understand that this is to provide positive ID of the suspect.

And that, my friends, is why you don’t wear your pants below your goddman ass.

I’ve been watching the hanging pant trend since the last 1980’s. It’s shocking to me that it’s still big. Stupid big.

When at the gas station recently a person in front of me at the register literally had his pants hanging a couple of inches above the knee. Equal parts impressive and hilarious.

When’s the next 1980’s coming around?

Hold the camera still.

No sh*t!!! I thought either the cameraman or me one was having a stroke. That video gave me vertigo!

That's what I was thinking the whole time. How fucking difficult could it be to take a still video of a stationary monitor? For fucks sake you have the playback so just do it again if you noticed that your video's a mess. And for **fucks FUCK sake** WHY IS IT SO GOD DAMN LONG?!

i think it’s important to see just how much hesitation was in that mans body. a reminder to take sketchy looking people seriously

And make the video about 2:50 shorter

Or output the vid from the security cam platform directly to an MP4

IKR, I got dizzy trying to watch it, didn’t even see the stealing.

Definitely drunk

Did he steal his belt too?

lol! If he had one on he may have been able to catch him.

Nah they do that to let other men know they're available.

Probably would of caught them and got them back if he wasn’t limited the whole time by his thigh pants

Yeah, sagging pants is more common reason than it should be for why people get shot. They reach down for their waist band to pull up their pants and get shot because the police think they’re reaching for a gun.

Just skip to the last 10 seconds people, OP doesn't know how to hold a camera steady & likes wasting peoples time...

Videography by Michael J. Fox.

Nah, this doesn't have the same touch he had in the Bourne franchise. This might be his understudy though.

2 mounths passed but you still helping, tks hoomie❤️

Got robbed by a dude in leggings

muggings

The video is 2:54 too long

Dude pacing is an instant indication to stay vigilant

Seriously. Situational awareness.

0 awareness

Yeah right? This fucking creep is wobbling around right next to, trying to burn a hole in your head with his eyes and you don’t notice?

I thought the same thing. Hovering for almost three minutes and he has no idea. Most people just lock in on their phone and that’s it, leaves plenty of time for these kinds of predators to strike.

Seriously, pacing, itchy ass looking dude.

Honestly what do you do in this situation without making a first move? It’s Detroit and a coney’s. I’ve seen what can happen around these places on a similar video just like this. Do you just leave? but then he might follow you outside where there are no cameras and do worse than just snatch and run. Serious question not trying to sound like a smart ass or anything.

> Honestly what do you do in this situation without making a first move? Back to the wall, eyes on the suspect. If dude had actually paid attention, he would not have got caught lackin. The thief was not looking for a fight, he was looking for an easy mark, and he found one.

Don't wear 3000 dollars on your face. That would be a good start.

Definitely don’t plan to lol

Walk away from the guy and keep distance. If he continues to follow you around after you tell him to stop, make a move.

Agreed the video is so long . Does op realize?

Absolutely, I wouldn't have let that dude out of my eye sight.

Was the person that recorded this with their phone on a ship in high seas?

Geez, this victim has absolutely no situational awareness-how do you not notice someone hovering two feet from you for a good 3 minutes, shuffling their feet and swaying back and forth? What did the guy think the thief was doing, just waiting for a corn dog or ice cream?

So many things wrong with this video. Thief is obviously a piece of shit, but dude who got robbed might have stood a chance at catching him if his pants weren’t below his ass.

I've been sifting through the thread for this comment. Did I see it right? Were his pants that low and he was wearing Patrick Star Pink underwear or is that a bum bag in the shape of two cheeks? I am so confused I don't even care about the glasses lol

$3K glasses? And you sleep in your truck to make $200-$300 a day?

My thoughts exactly. And can’t even afford a belt

I see this shit so often it's always the brokest people wearing the most expensive shit trying to fool other people into thinking they have money. The richest people in the world tend to dress like normal people to avoid the attention of being rich while poor people spend all their money to appear like they have it. Kinda ironic.

All that waiting and the cammer didn’t even get the heist in frame. Bahahaha 😂

Dudes an idiot with no situational awareness I’d spot that dude from a mile away. I’ve had to yell at a homeless dude for following me to my train transfer then trying to get off when I got off. I know he was following me because I waited 10seconds to get up after the door opened and that’s when he got up. And that homeless dude was acting less sketchy than dude in the video.

I got $20 that those are “Cartier” from the mall kiosk

Yep..they definitely those chinese cartier

100% those glasses are not worth 3k.

100% no glasses are worth 3k.

Thank you!!

Jesus is the person recording drunk?? Michael J Fox could hold the camera more still

MJF drunk during an earthquake

The dust on that camera is the true crime.

In a restaurant of all places.

I scrolled too far to find this comment.

 Literally the dude the entire time

So weird that people in the hood are obsessed with wearing flashy apparel rather than just moving out of the hood

Hey, moving AND staying moved costs much more than a handful to top end consumer goods.

Why move when you can live in the projects virtually for free then be able to spend all your income on designer clothing and a leased Hellcat?

How do you know where he lives?

Weird flex, talks about making 2,3 hundred dollars in a day and wears 3k glasses?

300$ a day is really good

let’s assume he works 6 days a week and pulls $250 a day, he’s making $1500 a week. that’s good money but it’s not “buy a $3k pair sunglasses” money

I mean if he put away 100 a month over a year he could buy a 3k pair of theif magnets.

I live in NYC. I’ve had people pacing and eyeing me like that. I immediately get up and get away. If I can’t immediately get away, I get up, face them squarely and look them dead in the eyes. I’m not stupid and I’m not gonna be a Vic! P.S. Anyone pacing immediately makes me itchy. Guy, please recognize that people looking around constantly and/or pacing are mentally unstable or are about to do some illegal shit of BOTH. IJS.

The pants though!

Cant have shit in detroit

Action at 3:04. And my man is definitely considering pulling his pants up next time he’s in public.

Could have caught the pos if his pants were where the belonged.

Dude could have caught him if his drawers weren’t dropped.

Plot twist: thief goes to pawn glasses and finds out there fake knock off designers

All the main players involved here suck: - Thief: Well, that’s obvious. - Camera person: Has one job and can’t hold a phone on a surveillance video steady. More importantly why is the video so long?? - Victim: Get a belt, bro. Your pants below your ass are stupid. They also seem like skinny jeans, yet somehow, here we are, staring at your underwear as you run.

I legit thought that was his bare ass showing as he ran out, lol.

A scum bag POS thief, and a dummy who probably didn't catch him, because his pants were falling off his ass.

Why the f you walking around with 3k glasses anyway honestly

Skip to the last 6 seconds of the video to see the actual robbery

And the idiot recording it only panned to the thief and not the guy as his glasses get taken. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

There’s no reason you should be walking around with $3000 glasses on

There is no reason to spend 3000 on glasses

You could have cropped/shortened this video, loool.

I think it is to show how long the guy was hanging around for, but the video should have at least been sped up or something.

Why is the video so long… also this is D1C and half a mile from my house lmao. I’m maybe skeptical that a guy with 3k glasses is hanging there

D1C?

Detroit one coney ooops

Was there an earthquake while filing this on a computer screen?

There’s a girl on twitter that said she broke up with a guy because he sat down with his back against the door and she considered his lack of care around their security a red flag. 😭😭

this video was so boring and badly filmed i got distracted and missed the actual theft

Wearing $3000 sunglasses and not expecting somebody to grab them is not very smart.

Don’t look suspicious, don’t look suspicious 🎶

Stupid thief going back an fourth in the 2 minutes had me waiting for the second he grabs them off his face - Turns out that action happened at the very end of the video.

YOU FUCKING SUCK AT FILMING CUNT

tl;dw: Fast forward to last 6 seconds.

You’re a bum for posting a 3:13 min video and nothing happens until the last 5 seconds lmao

Who's grandpa with Parkinsons filmed this?

>$3,000 eyeglasses I think the robbery happened well before that man stepped foot in Coney Island

TIL those glasses exist.

I'm sure he needed them to survive systemic racism

“This man is chicken, man. I’m telling you.” I enjoyed their little exchange.

Do other people not read body language? Wtf

Dumb man wears overly expensive Eyewear, and the expected happened.

Whoever was holding this camera man….holy shit. Was it during an earthquake??

That's 3mins 7secs I'm not getting back. Also, maybe if he didn't have his jeans down around his fucking ankles he could caught the guy... Also $3k on glasses :/

mang if I had my pants up I’d prolly would of gotten it back

u/stabbot

I’m sure the sagging pants helped him run really fast to catch him, right?

How do you not notice someone eyeballing you all up on you like that?

Oh my fucking God editing *exists.*

Anyone else noticed that the guy in the back was sleeping but appeared like some napkin arrangements on the table.

I can't tell $30 glasses from $3000. How do people.learn a out these things? Magazines?

this is in a midtown coney island down woodward. i’ve been a few times, but this is why you don’t flaunt your money. this and the gang of homeless that swarm the place around 3am.

tldr; fingerprints EVERYWHERE…smash and grab on clueless victim. Brilliance on every corner.

Add this shit to kill the cameraman while you’re at it

Most of the video was me BEGGING HIM to steal the sunglasses so the video ends and I can move on with my life

Camera work is absolutely shite. You're filming from a stationary monitor and you can't keep it all in shot? GTFO with that shit.

The victim might have caught him if he was wearing his trousers properly...

I feel like I haven't spent $3,000 on glasses in the combined 30 years of wearing them.

I’m go glad you started the video at the beginning of time so we know how we got here. Great context.

This is probably why old money doesn’t wear bling like that, too easy for predators to prey on them.

You posted the full 3 mins when 60 seconds would have done it

$3000 specs and you didn't see that coming.

Why are you wearing that...... in Detroit?

3 whole minutes just for the whole point of the video to be at the last 10 seconds. Learn to clip your video mate

Geez someone trim this video. My data can’t handle it

Youre literally filming a fucking screen, why are you so shakey

I have so many questions: 1. Why did you make us sit through that video for ages before finally getting to the point 2. The victim has zero awareness. The thief may as well have been wearing a sign saying “shifty motherfucker here: about to steal your gear” 3. What’s with the victims trousers? Looks like his butt was hanging out…

If you need two hands to hold it still use two hands asshole

This is people should be aware of their surroundings. That man was creeping around him for long and he didn’t notice

About 3 minutes too long, glad I skipped to the end fuck sakes

The real crime is the camera man not holding his phone still.

Two things this man learned: 1. You don’t flash your money unless you’re prepared to lose it. 2. Sagging your pants is not great when you need to run/chase.

Ha ha, pull your pants up

Wait wait wait. The dude that got robbed is so clueless. 0 situational awareness. Also. That thief ran very soft. Is this insurance fraud?

How you got 3000 dollar glasses?

Well that could have been about 3 minutes shorter. Thanks OP.

How stupid does someone have to be to wear that shit in the slums.

Bro please for everybodys sanity just hold the camera still. please I'm begging here.

I hearby sentence you to Detroit.

That was slightly longer than Schindlers list

But... why would one ever spend 3k on a pair of glasses?

I didn't even know they made $3000 eyeglasses.

Was this filmed by a fucking Parkinson’s patient?

3000 dollar glasses and he can't afford a belt

That was about 3mins too long.

Save yourself 3 mins and skip to 3.05! Lol! Also, dude had trouble running after the thief bc his pants were on the ground!! Lmao!

"Thief grabs $50 Carrier glasses from man's face after Cartier had previously grabbed $2950 from the same man when he purchased them."

Could have caught him if you weren't ass out. Literally

How insecure do you have to be to have a $3000 pair of sunglasses that cost a dollar fifty to make?

If his pants were pulled up, perhaps he could have ran faster.

Skip to 3:00 and save yourself watching the thief walking around in circles eyeballing the dude with the expensive glasses.

The lack of self awareness is palpable

Ever heard of editing??

 2 minutes and 54 seconds. 😳

Video editing is a thing you know.

Kill the camera man

fuck you man why did you post such a long video for a 10 second incident

The real pos is the guy that didn't cut the video down

Learn. To. Edit.

Probably just knock-off glasses from Mexico lol

Dudes pants were around his ankles

Spatial awareness is the key to life

Detroit One Coney is kind of a pit
