I found a video of a guy stealing from a store (Bestbuy?) Anyone know which TV this is?

Working in retail for years has taught me that this happens more than you would think. At Microcenter our warehouse and Loss Prevention got training in noticing weird nuances and look for people hiding/covering up. But it's near impossible if a thief comes in and acts like he is just grabbing a monitor or TV to take to the front to notice what they are up to.

We then stocked all TVs in the back and only low end monitors. We had a thief that did just what the above person did 3 times before we caught him. He stole smaller high end stuff though (27.2" Mac studio monitor etc). Large items normally don't have the security tags on them because 99% of the time they aren't taken.

The video above is a fake. Its actually a viral video showing how thin LG's OLED TV is that enables him to steal it in broad day. Probably the most creative TV ad I've seen.

Fake.

I once saw someone try to steal a display laptop from Best Buy. It was quite a sight to see. They literally tried to yank it out of the display anchor and run away with it.

Yeah its fake but kinda funny I like how he walks backwards. With an Oled TV and some planning you could proably get away with it. Maybe not a 55" but it is possible.

Correct sir! 

Not a bad ad though... would be balsy to do in real life. LGs Oled TV is that thin though some poor criminal is probably really going to try this after seeing it.

Real or fake either way this TV is impressive. If you look at :50, it almost appears as if the TV is transparent too. I think im hooked.
