It's rare to see such a smooth hustle being caught on camera. Go on watch this video first.

Did you miss it? Don't worry, some people couldn't catch it the first time round. You'd think it was the fact that the makcik took an extra bag of groceries that was the offence.

But look closely at her right hand here:

Classic use of diversion, distraction and sleight of hand.

Even though the stallholder had counted the change in front of the makcik before handing it over to her, he looked clearly befuddled when she told him that she had been shortchanged.

In the end he handed her another note.

Unfortunately for her, it was all captured on CCTV.

The video was uploaded by a Fu Yuet Hoe who shared the video with the following caption:

"AT PASIR RIS MARKET BLK 441.....YOU ALL CAN SEE WHAT THE MALAY AUNTY DOING???"

The video has been shared over 4,000 times and viewed over 150,000 times.
