A rat in India was caught on security cameras stealing a diamond necklace out of a jewelry store.
Jewellery shops displaying expensive pieces of jewels are bound to have heavy security in place. Surely, this shop must have taken all the necessary measures too, yet it found a thief infiltrating all those measures to grab a diamond necklace. The clip was shared on Twitter by IPS officer Rajesh Hingankar, where a tiny rat can be seen crawling to the necklace display. It lingers around the expensive jewel for a little while. Then grabbing it in its mouth, the rat rushes off the camera. The tweet read, “Now for whom would this rat have taken the diamond necklace?”
Social media users shared their unique takes on the situation. Many invented a story to explain why the robbery would have taken place. “Shaadi mein jaane ke lie choohe ki medam jid kar rahen hongi ki jewellery ki dukaan mein hi kaam karate ho, ye nahin ki ek haar hi le aao. (To go to a wedding, the rat’s wife must have insisted that you work in the jewelry shop, can’t you bring a single necklace?)” a comment read.
It was no cat burglar. This thief was a rat.
Evidently, having managed to breach the store’s security system undetected, the deft little rodent set his sights on his coveted prize — a diamond necklace. And, well, he stole it.
Making off with the unwieldy neckless appeared to be no problem at all for the rat, who disappeared with the neckless held firm in his mouth.
According to some reports, employees of the store were initially suspected of stealing the jewelry, but were later exonerated upon review of the footage.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time a thief has been caught on camera making off with jewelry store valuables. A few years back, at another shop in India, an even smaller burglar was caught red-handed stealing a diamond.
