A Malaysian man has been caught on camera stealing toys from a store in Kuala Lumpur. Known as the “blind box bandit,” he was seen stuffing Labubu toys into his pants while leaving the shop. The incident took place at Ace Cards & Collectibles in the Mid Valley Megamall. The store shared the video on social media, showing the man making off with stolen items on three different occasions. The footage shows him entering the store with a child, which served as a decoy. The term "budgie smuggler" is used in Australia to describe a man wearing tight swimwear. The store humorously referenced this slang to highlight the unusual theft. They also noted that the thief changed his clothing styles for each heist but kept the same sneaky tactic. The store hopes that sharing the video will lead to information that can help catch the thief.
