BMW-driving woman steals potted plant in northern India
by Aditi VermaIn a peculiar incident that has left social media abuzz, a woman in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh was caught on video casually stealing a potted plant from outside a shop after stepping out of her BMW.
The incident took place at Sector 18, under the jurisdiction of Sector 20 police station, Noida on October 25.
Visuals showed the woman confidently stepping out of her luxury vehicle, heading towards a plant pot placed outside a shop, and picking it up without any hesitation. Witnesses can be seen in the video approaching her vehicle, possibly to intervene, but she appears unbothered and undeterred by their presence. She promptly returns to her BMW with the pot and drives away, leaving bystanders bewildered.
Social media platforms have since been flooded with reactions, as users have both criticized her actions and laughed at the irony of an affluent individual resorting to petty theft.
Netizens have dubbed the incident as yet another “only in Noida” moment, coining the city as “No Idea” in jest, and making this an unusual highlight in recent local happenings. The video has prompted calls for stricter action against such impulsive and, some argue, bizarre behaviors in public spaces.
