The dramatic situation came to light through a viral TikTok video, where the man was captured with the laptop in hand, reportedly in the process of having it “flashed” — a term used for erasing a device’s data — in preparation to sell it off.
Though exact details about the time and manner of the theft remain unclear, the video’s caption left no room for doubt, stating that the man had stolen the device from someone living close by and brought it straight to the market for resale.
The clip has since sparked outrage and mockery online, with many viewers expressing disbelief over the shameless act. Comments poured in, with one user joking about the man’s intense facial expression, comparing it to a thief caught in the beam of a flashlight.
Others reacted with frustration, noting how betrayal often comes from people within close circles. The viral exposure has only added to the growing calls for accountability and awareness around petty theft, especially among trusted neighbors.
As of now, it is unclear whether law enforcement has been involved or if the rightful owner has recovered the device.
