Authorities in Costa Rica have released CCTV footage of a daring and bizarre robbery in hopes that someone who may recognize the culprits may come forward with information.
Two women were captured at a store, walking out with a plasma TV still in its packaging -- but that's not the weird part. As shown in the video, the woman who did the deed, managed to walk out of the store with the TV wedged securely between her thighs, hidden under her skirt.
The incident happened in a shop in the town of Guapiles, Costa Rica. As of yet, the woman and her accomplice have not yet been caught.
Shopkeepers were stunned at how quickly the theft occurred, and police believe that the woman must be a pro to deftly walk as if nothing was amiss even with a plasma TV between her legs.
"She did it so quickly [that] no one had time to notice or react. And having watched the video, it is amazing that the TV doesn't fall out from between her legs. She must be a pro or have very thick thighs. She left as if she didn't have a care in the world. I've never seen anything like it," said Jacint Ramirez Callas, an assistant at the shop.
The CCTV footage shows that it only took 13 seconds for the women to walk in the shop, pick up the TV still in its packaging, take a moment to look around the store if anyone was watching, put it between one's legs and walk out casually.
The Guapiles Police Department believes that the culprit may have done similar acts of theft in the past, or practiced the robbery at home before pulling it off.
One can only wonder what kind of exercises one must do in order to prep oneself for holding up a plasma TV between the thighs and walking away like nothing out of this world was happening.
