You’re shopping or working at Walmart when a young man collapses in front of you, showing signs of a heart attack. What do you do? You tend to the victim, because you are a human being with a soul. However, police say when this happened in Florida, two men took advantage of the functioning souls of the people around them to steal a cart filled with toys.

Surveillance cameras caught all of the action, and police also note that the men arrived at the store and left together in the same vehicle, while pretending not to have anything to do with each other inside the store.

However, police caught up with the men, and there’s that surveillance footage that you see above. They’ve both been arrested and charged with grand theft. The items in the cart included a LeapPad tablet, a motorized Barbie car, a Barbie house, and whatever that giant Fisher-Price thing is that’s visible from the security camera.
