In a peculiar case of plant theft, a woman was captured on CCTV stealing a small potted plant from outside a house in broad daylight. The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), has left viewers shocked and amused by the calm and calculated manner in which the act was executed.
The footage shows the woman riding a scooter through a residential street. After spotting the house, she slows down and parks her vehicle. Casually walking to the house, she carefully selects a potted plant, untangles its stems, and places it on her scooter. Despite a passing car, the woman remains unperturbed, calmly speeding off with her botanical loot.
The video has garnered over 100,000 views, with netizens expressing their disbelief and humour in the comments. One user sarcastically wrote, “Can afford a scooty but not a flower pot,” while another added, “Next time if someone takes her scooter, she shouldn’t complain.”

Some users speculated on the motive behind such thefts. One commenter suggested, “There’s a rumour that stealing a plant from a wealthy home brings prosperity.”
This incident follows a similar one from two months ago in Noida, where a woman in a luxury BMW was caught stealing a potted plant from outside a shop.
These recurring plant thefts have sparked curiosity about the obsession with flowerpots. While many find the incidents bizarre, others are questioning the growing trend of stealing plants, turning these peculiar thefts into an online talking point.
