They did it so casually as well.

Facebook user Sharon Keh was at Suntec arcade, Cow Play Cow Moo, on Tuesday evening playing some games.

The machine she was playing on was a bit wonky though, so Keh and her husband went to find a staff to help sort out the problem.

While she went to find some staff, a man took the opportunity to walk away with her bag containing 300,000 tickets.

These tickets are won from games played at the arcade and can be exchanged for prizes ranging from soft toys to iPads.

Here's the video she posted on Facebook.

In case you can't see the video, here it is.

It's a bit tough to spot exactly when the incident happened so we broke down the sequence for you.

Breakdown

Here is the bag in question.

Here's the man making his way out of the arcade with the bag.

And here is the entire sequence with a helpful visual aid.

Here's the part where the bag was moved closer to the man.

And here is where he takes off with it.

If you think 300,000 is quite a high number, that's because it is.

Keh had been accumulating the tickets for around a year now.

Keh told Mothership that she was intending to exchange the tickets for an iPad or a tablet.

She exchanged all the tickets for ticket receipts, which she had placed in the bag.

And it gets worse, the tablet she was intending to get was for her son.

And if that wasn't enough, it was the week of her birthday as well.

Keh explains in the post that she has decided to give the couple a week to return the bag, before heading to the police.

Oh no.

Update

It appears giving them a chance worked.

They have returned Keh her cards, as well as her tickets.

Hurray.
