Video of a man standing near a sidewalk exercising just to steal a lightbulb is going viral on the internet. The video from Coimbatore's Cheran ma Nagar in Tamil Nadu shows the man standing in front of some shops doing some warm up with an eye on a bulb. Standing in the corner of a street he exercises trying to gain no attention.

He first tries to remove the CFL bulb from the socket but stopped when some vehicles passed by. After the failed first attempt, he continues to exercise keeping a check of the surroundings to ensure nobody was watching.

He soon attempted for the second time and succeeded this time. He removed the bulb and put it in the pocket of his pants and adjusted his T-shirt so nobody notices it. All the while the man thought he had escaped all human eyes and successfully completed his stunt and forgot about a CCTV in the corner.

Watch the video here:

The video is being shared widely on social networking sites with people ridiculing the man for his act. While the man tried to hide from a few people on the streets, thousands have seen him committing the crime. We are not sure if the bulb was private or public property. Last year, during the first trip of Tejas Express, passengers stole headphones and damaged infotainment screens.
