The video captured from several CCTV cameras shows a couple breaking in to a Winnipeg branch of the Flamingo Vape chain. It happened on 11th March at just gone one o’clock in the morning.
The voiceover to the video calls the pair “idiots”, and asks: “What kind of idiot wears a high visibility jacket to a robbery? Whatever happened to the classic all-black?”
It shows the high-viz idiot scrambling around behind the counter looking for things when all of the high value stock was clearly on the shelves around the store.
Then the woman is shown attempting to lug around a test rack full of used zero-nic juice, clearly clueless. This is reflected in the pitiful haul.
“They’re very nice acrylic stands, but I don’t see what use she’d have for them,” adds the voiceover. “My favourite part about this is the fact that she was stealing empty boxes!”

- Acer R11 Chromebook with Okami Wolf stickers (No charger)
