in 2023, a 22 year old man in warsaw, poland, posed as a mannequin in a shopping mall, standing completely still with a shopping bag to avoid being noticed by security.
once the mall closed, he began stealing jewellery, and police later connected him to several other thefts at shopping centres.
after being arrested and released, he returned to stealing from malls in march 2024, eventually receiving a 16-month prison sentence.
