Surveillance cameras serve one main purpose; to keep our homes and businesses safe from
intruders.
Although, some people understandably feel that these cams are an invasion of one’s
privacy--as if Big Brother is closely watching our every move.
But one thing’s for sure.
Since their inception, CCTV’s have captured some of the most bizarre footage that no one
would believe had they not been recorded!
From failed robbery attempts and Twilight Zone moments to disgusting people caught red-handed,
here are 10 Weird Things Caught on Security Cameras and CCTV!
What’s up fact-natics!
Welcome to Discovery Amuse, serving up your daily dose of the most outrageous, outlandish
and out-of-this-world fun facts!
You wouldn’t wanna miss our number one pick because the girl caught on camera is ready
for her close-up!
Let’s jump right in!
#10: Man in Black
In this CCTV footage inside a law firm in Alaska, an office staff named Nicole can be
seen working the night shift when a mysterious man clad in a black suit approaches the front
desk and stands in front of her.
In an attempt to protect herself, Nicole pulls a gun from her desk.
But just as she was about to point it at the man in black, the man gestures with his hand
that made Nicole drop the weapon.
The man then seemed to instruct Nicole to get her camera from her purse which she also
did.
Afterwards, Nicole can be seen going out of the office with the mysterious guy in her
tail.
The next day, Nicole told a co-worker her chilling experience with the unidentified
man.
She was allegedly brought to a room where other people were seemingly communicating
through mind-reading.
According to Nicole, she was also injected with a fluid meant to wipe out her memories
of her strange captors, but it failed big time because she could clearly remember what
happened!
Is it a high-level intelligence operation, or just a product of Nicole’s wild imagination?
There’s only so much the CCTV footage can tell us.
Keep watching because our number one pick just gets even weirder, but in a funnier way!

Butterfinger Burglar
The Netflix Show Money Heist gained huge worldwide popularity thanks to the clever antics of
its ragtag team of professional robbers.
But this guy?
Well, let’s just say he’s not ready for the big leagues.
In this video, the man can be seen barging into the store trying but failing to look
cool.
Things get worse for him as he tried to threaten the cashier with his gun and then…oops!
“Uh, that wasn’t supposed to happen!”
In an attempt to retrieve his weapon, the man tried to climb over the showcase, but
the cashier was more quick-witted than him!
As soon as he saw the cashier beat him to the gun, the thief dashed out the door faster
than you can say, “Hasta la Vista.”
The lady clearly didn’t even know how to hold the thing!
But the not-so-smooth criminal was not taking any chances.

Epic Escape Fail
Thieves.
When will they ever learn?
They’re just too predictable!
Just like this one who was pretending to try on some gold chains in a jewelry store in
Thailand.
Little did the thief know, the store attendant wasn’t born yesterday and could easily spot
red flags—especially when the thief isn’t particularly bright like this one.
So, what happened when the thief tried to sprint out the door?
The store man has already locked it!
No wonder the guy was looking all chill and relaxed when the amateur thief tried to escape.
The crook had no choice but to pretend he was only taking the 500-dollar worth necklace
on a test drive, or something stupid like that.
He was locked up inside the store until the Thai authorities finally arrived to arrest
him.
As for this guy, I wonder how many times he’s been awarded Employee of the Month!

Up, Up and Away!
Prepare to be blown away by this next clip.
One stormy day, the strong winds were turning things topsy-turvy in this market in Turkey.
In an attempt to hold down the umbrella stand, three men tried to stand over it.
But the winds proved to be stronger and carried the umbrella along with one of the men!
It’s absolutely supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
That’s a Mary Poppins reference for the clueless Gen Z’s out there.
And yes, no one can do a better Mary Poppins than the great Julie Andrews!
Okay I got “carried away” for a minute there.

Stunt Car
Street cameras have recorded some of the worst car accidents all over the world.
But this one captured in a roundabout in Poland is perhaps one of the most outrageous road
accidents ever recorded.
When this speeding car failed to make a turn, it shot straight into the air like a scene
from an action movie.
The worst part of the incident?
The car reportedly landed on a graveyard!
The car cut through pine trees and crashed onto the ground before exploding into flames
at a Polish cemetery.
Luckily, the driver survived after “digging his own grave” while breaking the speed
limit.

Gross Misconduct
Every once in a while, we get too comfortable in public spaces that we forget about all
the CCTV cameras that might be watching our every move.
In this clip, a man can be seen waiting for the elevator in an apartment building when
all of a sudden, he did this.
Alright, fine.
He’s disgusting, but no harm done, right?
He was even taken aback at the sight of the security camera!
“Whoa, where did that thing come from?”
Think he learned his lesson?
Think again.
When the elevator finally arrived, he decided to pull off a prank to the camera.
Wait for it…
Okay, I take back the benefit of the doubt I gave him.
That’s a foul move, man.
#4 Worst Customer Ever
A fair warning if you’re currently eating while watching this.
It was a typical day at a Tim Horton’s store in Langley, British Columbia when things suddenly
took an unappetizing turn because of this irate customer.
She was demanding the cashier to let her use the washroom, but she was denied access to
it due to her behavior.
In a bid to get back at the cashier, she proceeded to bend over on a nearby wall and do a number
2! Yup, in full view of the other customers.
And what did she use to wipe herself?
Some countertop napkins, of course!
That’s just plain barbaric.
Apparently, the woman was a well-known troublemaker in the area and was arrested shortly after
the disgusting scene she made.

Great Grandma
You better think twice before you mess with this badass baby boomer!
In February 2020, a man curiously wrapped in a sleeping bag entered the store of this
82-year-old woman to rob her, perhaps assuming that the old lady is such an easy target and
the heist job would be a piece of cake.
Oh, he’s in for a rude awakening!
Just as soon as the man declared a robbery, the plucky pensioner took out her crutch and
started hitting the robber hard.
In a desperate attempt to salvage what’s left of his dignity, the man pushed the lady
to the floor and took off with little more than 50 dollars’ worth of items.
The brave British grandma was awarded 250 pounds for foiling the robbery and coming
out of it virtually unscathed, spare for a bruise on her cheek.
Now that would certainly make for a great bedtime story to tell her grandchildren!

A Ruff Day
That’s surely what this man had!
As he was sitting on the pavement minding his own business, a dog suddenly sneaked up
behind him, thinking he was a fire hydrant.
The guy was startled by the sudden rush of warm stream running down his back and quickly
stood up and shooed away the stray canine.
A dog’s gotta do what a dog’s gotta do, man.
That’s a stinky situation he’s gotten himself into.
We’re finally down to our Number one spot in our countdown and I dare you not to cringe!

Subway Runway
The world is her catwalk and there’s no stopping this woman from living her supermodel
fantasy!
When the aspiring model saw the subway security camera staring back at her, it was as if she
was immediately transported to a set of a TV commercial.
A little bag flip here, a little shoe flinging there, the girl was serving looks and poses
that would make Tyra Banks proud.
But judging from the confused looks of the other passengers, it seems like not everyone’s
pleased with her antics.
But as they say, as long as you’re not hurting anyone, pay the haters no mind!
When the train finally arrived, it was time for her money shot.
And that concludes New York Fashion Week, subway edition.
And there you have it!
