A Manila airport security officer took $300 from a passenger’s carry-on luggage.
After she was caught stealing, she swallowed the bills to escape responsibility. As they say, if you’re not caught, you’re not a thief, Philstar Global reports.
Perhaps her manipulations could somehow help her if they had not been caught on camera. The airport employee did not have time to get rid of the video recording in the same extraordinary way, so the airport management had enough evidence to hand the thief over to the police.
