Video: Rug thief caught and wrapped up by shop owner

He didn’t choose the rug life, the rug life chose him…

He didn’t choose the rug life, the rug life chose him…

This quick thinking shop owner managed to stop a thief getting away with one of his rugs and he used a novel little trick to make sure the thief couldn’t get away.

The cheeky thief makes a beeline for the door with a rug under his arm, but he’s stopped by a locked door. This gives the owner enough time to catch the thief and after a few slaps and a bit of a pushing match the thief ends up wrapped in a rug.

Now, the only question that remains is whether the video is fake or whether it’s some clever marketing ploy by the rug shop. They are having a ‘RUG SALE’ after all…
