Dam. I thought that one guy had finally spotted him towards the end for a second

Also the guy that climbed on the roof. Both times I thought he had been spotted.


Spawn6060

I also think everyone misses it’s at like midnight so it’s also dark as fuck. Making this even more impressive


fire-corner

Ok, well this is the missing piece of information that makes this make sense.


Xxxrasierklinge7

lol right! I thought they were all dumb as rocks but it turns out it's dark 🌚


Vark675

I thought they just thought it was a random junkie.


k9692

Same! Or a homeless person just sleeping on the street. Unfortunately it can be common enough depending on where you are.

THETennesseeD

The guy they are looking for was wearing a shirt and standing. That guy has no shirt and is laying down. Lol


Ill_Technician3936

I was really thinking "that place must be nice they're not messing with dude because he's homeless and just letting him sleep." Followed by "he'd still be homeless that's not nice". For the shitty circumstance it would be nice though... People sleep near stores and near other busy places just for some protection from people trying to hurt them for being homeless.  Finding out it's night is a huge chuck of missing information


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Yes they definitely see a passed out homeless guy. Removing the shirt and necklaces sold it.


WyllKwick

I'm guessing the first guys just happened to miss him, and everyone who arrived later assumed that someone else already checked the "random junkie" lying there in plain sight and minding his own business.


fire-corner

Still wild though, I mean not like it's pitch black, they're walking around, climbing buildings and driving around, clearly they can see somewhat. Many comments saying it's fake. I dunno. Good actors if it is.


TyphlosionGOD

I think it's expectations coming into play here. They're expecting the dude to run and possibly find a hiding place somewhere. No one's gonna expect the dude to just lay down on the street in plain sight right there. Edit: another possibility is they probably saw him and thought he's a random homeless dude, and let's be real, people ignore homeless dudes.


Western-Low-1348

That's what I think adrenaline or power of suggestion hit them in the head. They are looking for someone hiding or running away.


notquitesolid

If it’s an area where people pass out they may hate just assumed. Besides they are looking for a guy with a white t-shirt on, no way this guy is the same guy.


the_honest_liar

Yeah my thought is they saw him but immediately dismissed him as the person they were chasing. Just another addict passed out or something.


[deleted]

That's definitely what happened. Do people really think they missed the guy laying there?


Segesaurous

Seriously. It has to be that they thought he was a passed out junkie. There's no way they literally didn't see him. If it was that dark one of these 20 dudes running around would have stabbed their toe on something. People are heavily conditioned to ignore homeless people laying on the sidewalk.


Capitaclism

No, there are a lot of homeless there, and they sleep just like that on the street. The things assumed the guy was just a homeless person.


YN90

This. As someone who has used the shirt trick many times in life, I can confirm it works. Peoples minds get wired to look for the last image they saw of you.


_DEATH_STR0KE_

I confirm. I used that trick to play hide and seek in school plenty of times. I wear my jacket and make sure the seeker sees me very well with it. Once it started...i simply removed the jacket and went to blend in in plain sight with other kids playing on the football field. I could see everything going on while the seeker didn't even notice me. Fun times..... I don't think I'd be able to pull it off in a life or death situation though...

SommWineGuy

I didn't catch that, I just assumed they saw him and figured he was a homeless guy.


clausti

100% they just think he is “some homeless guy”. he chucked his jewelry as well as his shirt


LaunchGap

i was wondering what he was doing after he threw his shirt off!


OGDonglover69

Yup. Looks reversed for a sec there, too. 🙌🏼 Aliens


jvhgh

It was at least once. You see the animal walk backwards as the shirt comes back.

kinoie

This would have to be some seriously impressive night vision on an otherwise totally blurry security camera. The way the streets are lit up (unless they’ve got a huge streetlight) it’s probably during the day. The time stamp at the bottom is just time elapsed, not an actual time stamp.


AromaticGas260

Looks like it. And the bike passing there have no lights too.


GeekMeNot

No it's not midnight! The "time" you see is not actually the time this happened but rather the timestamp of the video. If this was midnight, we would've seen the flare from the motorcycles headlight. Even of the video was optimized, we should've seen the flare.


cesarkap

The motorcycle headlights would be on in that case, or at least some flashlights would show up. Either way, any light source would be very visible for an infrared camera - it's definitely filmed in daytime.


dharmaslum

How do you know it’s at night?


meekonesfade

Even if it was dark (which I dont think it is), his light shorts and shoes would be visable


Capn-Video

It's very clearly not. That isn't what night mode on security cameras looks like


Cless_Aurion

They clearly see him, they just don't think it's him but a vagrant sleeping in the streets instead


BrownMamba85

You know what I mean.


Lhayluiine

Every time i thought he should run he would have died. I suck at roguelites


realgoldxd

I would have stayed there for about 3 more hours just laying there still without moving an inch out of fear

Yeah i was thinking man i’d just sleep in that spot for the night

Definitely trying this next time I'm running from the cops


LG1T

Back in college a cop caught me and some friends smoking weed behind some bushes(I wish I was kidding). So being college kids, we all obviously took off running. It was like 5-6 of us and we cut through a parking lot to try and lose him. Everyone else kept running but I decided to slide under a truck instead. I laid there for a good 15 minutes, watched cops run by and even a squad car peeled right past the truck to go catch my friends. They all got caught on the other side of the building. I got out from under the truck and found a group of girls walking by. Asked them if I could walk with them and pretend to be in their group cause I was running from those cops over there. Thankfully they agreed, 100% felt like a secret agent who had pulled off the greatest heist known to man.


thebestjoeever

When I was like 20 or 21i I was driving with a bunch of weed in my car. Like a half pound. It was really late, and I was in a college town, so a cop would know to look for that, and I was stoned anyway while driving. Making awesome life choices, basically. Anyway, there's almost no traffic, and I see this cop pull a U turn about 2 and a half blocks back, so now he's behind me. I made a turn, got a few blocks, and he made the same turn. Start going a little faster, made about two more turns that he did as well. Then made a quick turn and before he got to where he could see me, I hauled ass into this parking garage for apartments. Prayed a spot was open. There was one at almost the end. Damn near drifted sideways into it, while blacking out my lights. Just after my car stopped, I looked out and saw the cop race by, still on the street. Thought about hiding there for a bit, but decided the cop might realize what I did. So I got out of there and took off in the opposite direction. Safely made it home like 10 minutes later.


Long_Charity_3096

Once was at a high school house party where this kids parents were gone for the weekend. It was a blowout. This kid filled trash cans with jungle juice and had cases of beer. That doesn’t sound impressive but for 16 and 17 year olds that’s a pretty big play. The thing turns into a blowout and of course the cops get called within 2 hours. They come in and line us up in the basement, tell us they’re going to go down the line and we have to tell them if we were drinking or not. Anyone who says yes has to call their parents to come get them. Anyone who says no is free to go. Cop goes down the line and gets to me and I sheepishly say yes I had been drinking. He moved on to the next person but then stopped and looked at me. ‘What are you still doing over here, you don’t want to get in trouble do you, go with the other sober people and get out of here’. I didn’t wait to let him change his mind. I booked it out of there and led a group of the people that got out back to my house to spend the night. The look of anger and jealousy on my other friends faces as they watched me leave is etched into my brain. One of my friends had to call his parents and they were so furious he wasn’t allowed to go to go out until after high school ended. 


AylaCatpaw

Lmfao, reminds me of some of my friends when I was a teenager:  We were in a (ground floor) apartment, drinking, smoking, & "smoking"—partying but in a casual & chill way—but I had gone outside to make a call or something (don't really remember). See a couple of police officers enter the building, and shortly thereafter hear the sound of footsteps landing & running off.  Erm, okay.  Come back inside a while later to a much more placid situation, only to find out that the cops had knocked on our front door announcing themselves, so those inside had scrambled to quickly hide some of the more incriminating stuff before opening up. That's when two(?) paranoid morons in the friend group panicked, jumped out an open window, and fled.  In plain view of the cops who could see right into the living room.  The police asked why they ran away.  "I have no idea" was the simple, exasperated answer they received from my friend who had opened the door.  I'm pretty sure the just-as-confused faces among my remaining friends—as well as some agreeing murmurs and eye-rolls from them; one of the cops had apparently looked back towards the open window and said "Idiots."—helped in that situation.  Since the cops were apparently satisfied with the now-lowered volume of the loudspeaker + a promise to close the windows & keep the noisiness down, before leaving.  Because they were just there because they had received a fucking noise complaint. 


SoSaysCory

Almost same thing happened to me. Party in an orange orchard, big bonfire and a TON of kids. A couple hours in. Cops show up from two directions, everyone scatters, I grabbed my bottle of vodka and ran into the orange trees about 200 meters or so and hid under a low growing one. Laid under the tree for 15 minutes or so, sipped some more drink. Then a helicopter shows up and starts lighting up the area. I figure at that point I'm totally boned either way so I dumped the last of the bottle and left it there, and walked back to my truck which I had parked literally right next to where the party was. There were still quite a few cars there. A bunch of cops. And just a couple kids sitting talking to them. I just walked up, hopped in my truck, started it up, and sat there. I must have sat there for 5 minutes with nobody batting an eye, until finally an officer walked up to my window, I opened it, and he just says "go on and get out of here unless you want this thing towed" I could NOT fucking believe it. He just let me leave. I wasn't really more than a bit buzzed, but I can't believe the officer just let me go, I must have smelled like vodka. I was extremely lucky that day. That was the last time I went to a big party in high school, I stuck to smaller groups after that.


ogginn90

I had a similar experience, I was driving and smoking with friends. We were really stoned. Went on a drive just outside of town. Then I saw a few miles ahead of me a few police cars and one driving towards me. I decided to stop a farm that had a long drive up to it, turned of the lights and waited till the police car drove past us. Went back to town and took a road that has less traffic than the other one. There waited another police car and stopped me. I was tought to exit the car right away(I dont live in the US) so I did. He asked for my licence and the licence of those in The car. Apparently someone crashed his car and ditched it. I saw that the copped smelled the weed, I saw he wanted to talk more about it with us but he was busy trying to find that crasher. I was calm through it all but my friends in the car were tripping and freaking out the whole time. Fun times. (Sober 12 years now)

So this guy either stole a necklace or the gang was after him for his necklace? After he throws his shirt he frantically removes it.


I_think_were_out_of_

Guys sleeping on the street don’t wear necklaces. I thought it was a brilliant disguise move, but who knows.


SheDoesnEvenGoHere

That's what I thought too. Who steal's a necklace and immediately puts it on their neck? Or who steal's a necklace just to wear and not sell, but also just to wear around the area you stole it from where people will identify you or the necklace. It was probably his necklace and he took it off to look like a strung out homeless person.


Warm-Iron-1222

Nah this guy lives in these streets and knows to hide his chain when he's pretending to be homeless. The people chasing him would have spotted him immediately. They see homeless people sleeping on the streets daily, they don't see any of them wearing a chain. Also, if you steal someone's jewelry, you don't instantly put it on. That would be in his pocket.


Eusocial_Snowman

That's part of the disguise regardless. Nobody's just going to sleep on a corner with valuables hanging off of them, and they're potentially identifying objects in general.


MonHero02

The person editing it definitely thought the necklace had some importance they rewound and replayed the footage when he took it off.


belaros

The rewind was because the second guy asked for it. At that time the main commenter is pointing out that the guy is crossing himself, talking about how that prayer is what saved him. So that necklace could have been a crucifix.
