Robbing a store with a cardboard box covering your face is not easy. Just ask the man from Florida who attempted that in Miami Garden this Saturday. While covering his face with a cardboard box, he managed to steal 19 iPhones and $8,000 in cash. However, he encountered a problem. It’s quite difficult to see anything when you have a cardboard box on your face, so he had to lift it multiple times to see what he was doing, allowing the security camera of the mobile store he was robbing to capture him in glorious high definition.

The store owner, shortly after, began asking around the shopping area where his business is located if anyone had seen the thief, discovering something obvious. That someone so foolish couldn’t have a good plan. Because the thief was still in the area, drinking with his friends at a nearby liquor store. This led the store owner to call the police, who would arrest the thief shortly after, closing the saga, reminiscent of GTA, of one of the dumbest heists we’ve seen in a long time.
