Some plans crash and burn before they even get off the ground. A video making the rounds online has people talking about a Texas woman whose big idea for a quick escape ran into one small problem: her driver wasn’t interested in being part of it.
The clip has racked up attention for showing a scheme go downhill in the most satisfying way.
According to a video shared on X by user @ClownWorld, a woman in Texas grabbed a case of Tito’s vodka from outside a store or loading area and walked it straight to a waiting Uber.
Security footage shows her loading the case into a dark-colored Toyota Camry before climbing into the front passenger seat, apparently expecting the driver to pull off with her and the stolen alcohol still in the car.
He didn’t. He gets out of the car, opens the door, and essentially forces her to get out or leave without the vodka. A store employee then comes over, retrieves the case of vodka from the car, and takes it back.
The woman walks away empty-handed.
It’s not clear from the video whether the police were involved or whether the woman faces any charges.
Internet Reacts to Texas Uber Driver’s Vodka Heist Refusal
Commenters quickly sided with the driver. One wrote, “When your Uber driver has higher morals than you. Iconic refusal energy.” Another added, “Hell yeah, driver said ‘not my crime, not my problem.’ Real ones still out here with integrity.”
Others focused on the plan itself. One person wrote, “You a different level of stupid to try to pull a heist and uber is your getaway plan.” One user found the aftermath funny, commenting, “The uber driver opening the door for the delivery guy is incredibly funny to me. like ‘yeah go ahead, grab your stuff.’”
One commenter offered a different theory entirely, joking, “That was only after he asked for half and she said no. LOL.”
Retail-crime platform Auror found that in Texas stores using its system, the top 10% of offenders were linked to more than 71% of reported retail crime. Across the U.S., the average is 66%. About 1 in 8 incidents involved violence or weapons, with firearms being the most common. The most stolen items included AirPods, QLED TVs, makeup bags, and perfume.
