A TikTok woman went viral after she exposed a Target customer leaving the store with an allegedly unpaid $1,000 worth of Lego.
Tiktoker (@myerrrrrrrrrr) posted a video zooming in on a customer’s back as he quickly pushes a shopping cart out of the store. Laughing, she approached to get a better audience and told someone off-screen: Said you. ”
The on-screen text of the video appears, “When you video catch a guy with 1,000 worth of Lego at Target.” As of Friday, the video had 2.5 million views on his TikTok.

Despite TikToker’s excitement, some viewers called her out for exposing fellow customers.
“Why did you steal your buddy,” commented one viewer.
“Okay, but I’m going to catch him there just like why did I make him look like he left the guy alone,” a second viewer commented.
A third sarcastically wrote, “No, the billion dollar company lost $500.”
in the midst of many requests “Story Time” videoTikToker says, while perusing Target’s Lego section, he noticed other customers tossing their carts full of Lego sets.
“And I was really confused because he was grabbing some of the same sets,” TikToker says in the video.

When she asked the customer what happened to all the Lego in his cart, she gave a dubious answer about buying Lego for his family. She knew what she was doing, she says.
TikToker says that when she told the friends she was with that she thought another customer was trying to steal Lego, they didn’t believe her. I started following him and saw him walking outside the store, dodging the employees until he reached the exit.
TikToker and its friends reported nothing after the customer left with Lego, she said. While she was filming the video, she saw several Target employees talking on walkie-talkies.
Some viewers said they really can’t blame the customer for stealing Lego.
One viewer said, “You can’t blame him for Lego being so expensive.
“I would have asked him to take the set for me and meet me outside,” wrote another.
