A video, now viral, has surfaced showing a man pretending to exercise on the sidewalk of a busy road only to steal a bulb hanging outside a shop. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera in Coimbatore’s Cheran Ma Nagar, according to an India Today report. The footage bears a time stamp of June 23 at 5am. The unidentified man can be seen in the clip, which is a little over a minute, casually stretching before trying to slyly remove the bulb from the socket. He quickly resumes his exercises to avoid being caught as he sees a few vehicles pass by. He finally manages to remove the bulb, slides it into his pocket and walks away totally unaware that his act was caught on camera.
