CCTV cameras in Shymkent captured one of the strangest thefts. Two men attempted to steal… a snowman.
The footage shows them calmly walking past a coffee shop until they are drawn to a snowman standing on a bench. Apparently, considering that the winter in Shymkent was almost snowless, the «thieves» thought the find was valuable. One of the men, without thinking twice, decided to take the snow «trophy» home.
However, they didn’t get far with the loot and the situation became even more comical. A waiter noticed the theft and ran after the thieves. In the midst of this unexpected chase, the men got rid of the «ballast,» throwing the snowman right onto the road.
«How will they calculate the damage?»
«By the time they schedule an assessment, the snowman will have melted.»
«It turns out people even steal snow.»
«What were they planning to do with it?» social media users wrote in the comment section of the post.
Unlike Shymkent, there is plenty of snow in Astana, which requires a lot of work to remove from the streets and building roofs. Thus, snow removal from a giant shopping mall in Astana for many resembled a scene from Ancient Egypt. In a video posted on social media, tens of people shovel snow on the roof of the Mega Silk Way shopping mall in Astana.
