A fish pond owner has taken to social media to express his frustration after a customer allegedly stole several catfish from his pond and hid them in the trunk of his car.
The incident was shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where the pond owner could be heard lamenting over the unexpected theft.
According to him, the customer had come under the pretense of purchasing fish but secretly stashed a number of them in his vehicle.
Describing the moment he discovered the theft, the man said: “Look at the car, very unsuspecting. I just got close to the car and raised the iron and saw fishes.”
The caption accompanying the video explained that the customer had visited to buy fish, but instead made away with many of them without the owner’s knowledge.
As the post gained attention online, many concerned users flooded the comment section to share their reactions, with some expressing shock and others condemning the act.
