A young man in Poland found a unique way to evade authorities by pretending to be a mannequin in a store window.

Night At The Museum Mall

Just like Night At The Museum, this man came to life after hours.

The 22-year-old stood motionless in front of the window with a bag in hand to avoid being captured by cameras. Once the store closed and the last customer left, the thief broke from his stance and stole jewelry from a stand.

Not His First Time Stealing

He returned on another occasion to steal an outfit and enjoy a meal from the food stations before being noticed by security guards.
