Thief trick
One of many pony tricks where the store clerk sets up a robbery where she tackles the thief to the ground before he gets out of the store, making herself the hero of the day to a viewing audience. They both later have a good laugh about everything when there are no cameras rolling.
That dumbass watching the news fell for her thief trick. The clerk and robber who set it up knew each other well, they got a good laugh out of it.
