One particularly clever thief managed to get away with a $350 (€260) flat screen TV after making a casual skateboard escape. He first browsed around the store looking for the perfect device and then just tucked it under his arm and made his way out on his skateboard.

The incident happened just before closing hour at a Target store in Florida and the funny footage from the surveillance cameras was uploaded on YouTube. Police are now officially looking for a thief escaping guards on a skateboard.

Officers described the man a “white male in his 20s” and also made some additional notes about his interesting getaway vehicle, a “brown in color” and with “orange yellow wheels” skateboard, notes The Smocking Gun.

His escape was not so easy, as he first stumbled upon some locked doors and had to head towards another exit. In order to escape confrontation with store personnel, he allegedly flashed a knife and rolled away from the premises.
