A shoplifter in Whyalla, Australia was arrested after stealing a TV from a local electronics store. Now, you may be asking yourself, “TVs are pretty big — how did he manage to get it out of the store?”


While there are a few ways to steal a television that could let you actually get away with it, this guy went with the one method that would ensure he wouldn’t: shoving it under his shirt.


Apparently believing that no one would question why he left the store with a big, square belly, he stuffed the television box into his shirt and strolled out of the store.


Police later apprehended the man. How did they catch him? Your guess is as good as mine.
