[Video Link] These fellows use chopsticks to liberate their comrades of material possessions. It looks like hard work, but their job is made easier thanks to apathetic onlookers who don't intervene. After a long day of stealing, these thieves will have collected a great many facial tissue packs! (Thanks, lunchthief!)

    i’m not amazed that they’re stealing with chopsticks as much as I am amazed that NO ONE THAT NOTICES IT IS STOPPING THEM

      That’s because using chopsticks is the Chinese equivalent of saying “Yoinks!”.
