A TikTok video shared by user @yerigarciarealtor captures a bizarre incident involving a man, allegedly Cuban, who stops on a residential street in the United States, opens his car trunk, and makes off with someone else's trash bin.
The footage, captured by a security camera, shows the man placing the garbage container inside his vehicle, seemingly unaware that he is being recorded.
"Guess where this is... Can someone tell him that houses here have cameras and that if you call the city, they will give you a trash bin if you need one?" the video's creator wrote sarcastically.
