This cute criminal has no shame.
“Why pay for a pumpkin when you can just steal one?”
That appears to be the logic of one fearless—and adorably fluffy-tailed—little thief, whose brazen heist was captured on camera. TikTok user @nighthorse3889 shared that their dad works at a store that sells home and garden products, including a variety of pumpkins for the season.
Recently, he noticed a curious customer lingering near the pumpkins, showing no intention of paying. In fact, this “customer” had ulterior motives: a theft was in progress.
With no fear of repercussions and right in plain sight, the shameless shoplifter seized a mini pumpkin and made a break for it. Although @nighthorse3889’s dad couldn’t stop the thief, he confronted him nonetheless.
In the end, the little thief—a squirrel—managed to escape with his stolen prize, despite the stern words from @nighthorse3889’s dad.
“You’re not allowed in the store anymore,” he remarked.
Of course, there’s no way to know if this shoplifter will respect that warning, but one thing is clear: when it comes to scoring pumpkins, squirrels have no shame whatsoever.
