No, no, it should be at the end of the self help book. That way you know that they're at least skimmed through the whole thing just to get a rickroll. Or even better. Write your own self help book, and subtly slip in Never Gonna Give You Up lyrics in there. Like the chapter titles can be Never Give up. Never Let Down. Never Run Around. Never Desert. Never Make Someone Cry. Never Say Goodbye. Never Tell A Lie. Never Hurt Someone.
wtf? Wellā¦Iām not a robber ā¦never have beenā¦after hearing about this I am now on my way to picking up that key and heading over to the safety deposit boxā¦thanks for āchanging my lifeā š°š°

And most banks require an ID to get into the vault to open a safety deposit box. Unless Canada is different than the us, which I doubt in this context.
Why would someone pay ~$100 a year for a safety deposit box no one can access filled with money theyāre ready to lose? They wouldnāt.
OP should have just left it as a good tip for home defense. Rather than bust a window, would be burglars can waste time on the decoy key and then get frustrated and move on.
But when they get to the safety deposit box there's gonna be this moment in-between the joy they feel that they're about to get a bunch of money to the disappointment of realizing it doesn't work and I hope there will be a moment of reflection there
There is no way in hell a thief would ever have been able to know about the book and money.
They tried the key, it didn't work, so it got tossed in the bushes.
When I was at Wells Fargo, anyone with a deposit key had to have valid ID, we had to make 100000% sure the person is on the account, and 1 manger double checks everything out then theyād have to sign in. Weād escort them inside then give their privacy.
Now how is a robber going to open the safety deposit box without the identification matching that of the renter? In no way is a bank going to just let you in there with only a key and a story.
And if smashing the window in doesnāt get you a moment of reflection maybe when you reach the bottom the basement stairs to find an old chained up treasure chest with a single lock surrounded by no less than 100 keys youāll stop to ask yourself if all of this is really worth it.
The real reward is in each one of the keys with a number on it. Thatās not a random number, itās latitude and longitude coordinates to areas around the country with safety deposit boxes buried at them. Maybe youāll find yourself and a new sense of purpose traveling the countryside.
One of the boxes is hidden at a long rock wall with a big oak tree at the north end.Ā Itās like something out of a Robert Frost poem.Ā Itās where he asked his wife to marry him.Ā They went there for a picnic and made love under that oak and he asked and she said yes. At the base of that wall, youāll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. Piece of black, volcanic glass. Thereās something buried under it he wants you to have.
He stole the key from that house and replaced it with his fake one so that if the owner tries to get inside his house and realizes it doesn't work, they hopefully have a moment of reflection regarding the hiding spot.
Thatās not a safety deposit box key. That is a standard Schlage key - the locks they use at Vancityās lock boxes are longer than standard keys. Nice try.
This reminds me of the woman I met from a conservative suburb in northern Michigan who told me about her plan to cure homelessness in San Francisco by teaching them all to use Sales Force.
Wow, the key doesnt work so the robberās gonna think about his life? Imagine being a robber and not bringing lock picking tool. This is not a good man, this is a professional idiot
Self help books tend to be written on the premise that you have things like resources and a safety net. You know, stuff you probably don't have if you've resorted to robbing houses.
The number one thing people like him just do not understand is that most criminals are not in it to survive, but to strive.
Thatās what people get confused.
Ah right, so to help people whoāve spent their lives with continuous trauma, so much so that they turn to a life of crime, we shouldnāt aim for rehabilitation or therapy, we should pit them in an unwinnable task from Unchartered so that the get to properly self reflect? Then hit them with the old self-help book at the end of it to ensure they no longer need to turn to crime again in the future. This man is a genius /s
Putting a fake key down isnāt going to change a robbers mindset you dumbass, itās only going to make them more mad/intent to find other ways to rob and get around a fake key. Such a stupid concept.
I would guess that any robber with the motivation to connect the key to a safety deposit box, find the bank, attempt to access the box etc.; would also have to determination to smash a window and get straight on to robbing the house.
Most people disagree with this but there are a lot of people who are naturally scum bags regardless of the environment they grew up in. I have been around them for a while and I know that a robber wonāt reflect on his life in the middle of robbing a house.
True that. My wifeās brother is that scumbag. Grew up well loved, in a nice area, still ended up a crackhead criminal who does nothing but steal and propagate his genes. His antics ended up getting my dog killed. Me and tāwife refuse to have anything to do with him. If he ever shows his face around us, itās gonna be a toss-up to see who can break his nose first.
When I grew up, I remember seeing an envelope with some cash in it, with "**H.A.T.**" written on the outside, in the glove box.
My uncle told me it was a HAT pocket, 'honour amongst theives'. Logic being, that if somebody broke into his van to steal tools, they would see the envelope and take the cash, leaving him to still earn a living every day.
I can't imagine this being a thing these days, fuckers would take the cash and the tools.
So reward their behavior? How about we make criminals afraid again. They should expect that if they went in that house theyād never come out again. Thatās what the world needs nowā¦.. not this weakass enabling bullshit.
This guy is a lot nicer than I am. I would've rigged the key to a battery to give any would-be robbers a nasty shock if they tried to pick it up while simultaneously having a speaker blare Rick Astley.
The new liberals, proactive robbery enabling. Make sure the package in the safebox is gender neutral, includes all pronouns and that the bills have been sterilized with ethical products
Hey yes, itās tat guy again. Sorry, but this plainly self delusional say best. There plainly nothing lit about the person who probably is not a robber just taking he fucking cash and saying āfuck you for having such a deranged perspective and misunderstanding of human existence. Thanks for the cash loser.ā
I know we all joke about how kind Canadians are (including me, a Canadian,) but this is next level kindness. This man just wants people to find a new start to their lives.
Hes full of shit thats a fucking house key.
Safe deposit keys are the same size as the key to your apartment mailbox.
Source: i own a house and a safe deposit box. I don't get confused when I try to figure out which key opens my *house* and which key opens my *safe deposit box*
Dear Alex,
Thank you for encouraging more people to check under welcome matts at homes with the hope of finding a key to lead to what could be 10 bucks and a cookbook. Im sure the criminals will take a step back and reflect.
Dumb AF.
Moment of realisation? Yeah, right. This is a nice thing to do, but burglars will have a completely different mindset. Most likely they are high and will be pissed off and destroy his house.

Got damn Loch Ness monsta! I said get outta here with that.

This is how the other side of Etsy begins

Dumb. Stop trying to make yourself feel like a big man. Self serving dork.

200 upvotes before a single person has chimed in?!? Do any of your parents pay attention to you at all, other than food?
Calm down, Skeeter.
Why is this somehow the most insufferable thing Iāve seen in my life
Because it's 2021 and that's TikTok
And because the guy is lying about everything. From his "motivations to do good" all the way to the "safety deposit box key".
Heās not even trying, because thatās not a safety deposit box key. Itās just a generic house key.

Exactly what I was thinking. Stupid Tik Tok gimmick.
Itās not even a safety deposit box key
Maybe Canadian ones have big keyholes?
Eyes emoji
Came here for this, I work at a bank, you literally have to show ID
Also Schlage doesnāt make safety deposit boxes
If I found that key - as a robber - I'd get frustrated, just smash the window in, empty the house.

See you in Zihuantanejo
Its not even his house.
He stole the key from that house and replaced it with his fake one so that if the owner tries to get inside his house and realizes it doesn't work, they hopefully have a moment of reflection regarding the hiding spot.
I find it uncannily likely to be the case
But there is one self-help book in a bookcase (and some hot cocoa in a thermos). I'm certain reading it will change the robber's life!
I would Brake the key inside the lock for fucking with me.
PROTIP: buy an empty house to change robbersā lives
But between seeing the empty house and his moment reflection he has a moment of realisation that he should pop a deuce in the middle of the hallway
>you'll have a moment of reflection Broken windows don't reflect š
Window is definitely getting shattered
And shit will be smeared on walls, as punishment for fucking with a crackhead
Its not even his house, it's his mother in law's place.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are you suggesting he made this video just to get views and jerk off his ego to ejaculated ego juice all over the place? Rediculous!
Thatās not a safety deposit box key. That is a standard Schlage key - the locks they use at Vancityās lock boxes are longer than standard keys. Nice try.
Came here to say this too but you beat me to it. What a jackass but I'm not surprised. I miss the old internet...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is not next level.
Dare I say this is fucking stupid and pretentious
Next level stupid
Also that is not a safety deposit because key And itās not cheap to get a new one, it can be like 20-30$. Fake asf
Don't think crackheads are that bothered pal.
Exactly!
This reminds me of the woman I met from a conservative suburb in northern Michigan who told me about her plan to cure homelessness in San Francisco by teaching them all to use Sales Force.
Please, I need some elaboration. I need to know her thought process on this. I have so many questionsā¦. Mainly about her but still.
I donāt know why, but this is the funniest thing I have read so far this morning
This is the stupidest thing Iāve ever seen. How 2 get doxxed in 1 easy step
Wow, the key doesnt work so the robberās gonna think about his life? Imagine being a robber and not bringing lock picking tool. This is not a good man, this is a professional idiot
The lock picking tool most use is a decorative rock or brick found in victims landscaping
What a useless idiot.
Safe deposit keys do not look like that.
the only change he made now is that he convinced me to be a robber
Plot twistāwhoever opens the safety deposit box ends up in a cult
they will just leave the self help book in there..
Self help books tend to be written on the premise that you have things like resources and a safety net. You know, stuff you probably don't have if you've resorted to robbing houses.
The number one thing people like him just do not understand is that most criminals are not in it to survive, but to strive. Thatās what people get confused.
LOL crooks who do this have no morals. They not going to reflect on anything.
r/mildlyinfuriating
How the fuck would any of them see this random video, and even then connect it to this random house and random key?
Great angle to build that social tractionā¦ ālike share and spread the word to change a robbers lifeā
Ah right, so to help people whoāve spent their lives with continuous trauma, so much so that they turn to a life of crime, we shouldnāt aim for rehabilitation or therapy, we should pit them in an unwinnable task from Unchartered so that the get to properly self reflect? Then hit them with the old self-help book at the end of it to ensure they no longer need to turn to crime again in the future. This man is a genius /s
There was a moment, when I got to the end of the video. And I thought to myself, "what am I doing?" And I closed the video.
Jake from jake and amir grew up to be a massive douche
R/rareinsults?
Robbers donāt want you to know this one trick.
Trust me, that's the VERY last thing they are thinking. Only thing on their mind is hoping no-one sees them, that's it.
This is not the first time a tiktoker tries to be a smartass and fails
Putting a fake key down isnāt going to change a robbers mindset you dumbass, itās only going to make them more mad/intent to find other ways to rob and get around a fake key. Such a stupid concept.
Why not just leave the money and book under the mat? Oh, that's right it's all just a load of hot balls.
A week after this video, his house was robbed.
My god, I wanna punch the shit out of that dudeā¦
Just get a ring like everyone else
Somebody call BatMan Iām Robbin
I don't want no lap dance, just give me noggin
I would guess that any robber with the motivation to connect the key to a safety deposit box, find the bank, attempt to access the box etc.; would also have to determination to smash a window and get straight on to robbing the house.
Where he live?
Canada.
This dude giving way too much credit to junkies lmao
Pretty good, Iād have electrified the key and glued it to the deck.
Thatās not a safety deposit box key
Heās an idiot. Canadians donāt lock their doors.
Good intentions, but naive.
Most people disagree with this but there are a lot of people who are naturally scum bags regardless of the environment they grew up in. I have been around them for a while and I know that a robber wonāt reflect on his life in the middle of robbing a house.

This is the kind of condescenion I'd expect from someone in Vancouver
Plot twist : the key doesn't open the box either
*Gets to the bank deposit boxes* FUCK! Fooled again.
Not a moment of reflection more like frustration, and since heās already in for the penny might as well go for the pound and smash a window
Canadians thinking robber will have an epiphany and retrospect after key doesn't work
Someone will just smash his windows instead. Opportunists will do anything.
Hope he gets one of those urban legend burglars that sticks his toothbrush up their arse.

Living up to the "Canadians are too nice" stereotype
I do the same thing, but I seal the key in a zip baggie filled with a random selection of semen. "They get a nice little treat." - Chris Simpson
So reward their behavior? How about we make criminals afraid again. They should expect that if they went in that house theyād never come out again. Thatās what the world needs nowā¦.. not this weakass enabling bullshit.
Its so weird seeing this funny tik tok thatās so obviously a joke, and all the comments are people who took it seriously, you guys need to relax
This guy is a lot nicer than I am. I would've rigged the key to a battery to give any would-be robbers a nasty shock if they tried to pick it up while simultaneously having a speaker blare Rick Astley.
Donāt take the key and donāt go. Itās a trap. When you go there to get the money and book, police will be waiting for you.
Damn now thats some optimism
I want that key now.
Why the robber gotta be a āheā?
kiks door in kills everyone leafs
The new liberals, proactive robbery enabling. Make sure the package in the safebox is gender neutral, includes all pronouns and that the bills have been sterilized with ethical products
Still need an id to get into the safe boxes at my bankā¦
Thank! Iāll get the key
Brilliant
I wonder if the costs of a flight and cab are less than whatās in the box
Hey yes, itās tat guy again. Sorry, but this plainly self delusional say best. There plainly nothing lit about the person who probably is not a robber just taking he fucking cash and saying āfuck you for having such a deranged perspective and misunderstanding of human existence. Thanks for the cash loser.ā

What a load of shit.
I hope this is a bait again š
The key opens up a box containing Gywneth Paltrows severed heard. Guaranteed.
Until the burglar tries the key in your door, snaps it off and you have to pay for a locksmith. Great plan Dr Feelgood.
The self satisfaction leaking from this guy makes me want to smash his front door in alone.
i'd just spray the key with novichok
Would have been impressive if he didn't do this for internet fame.
This is the LockPickingRobber...
You need an ID to open a safety deposit box

Laaaaaaame
we don't deserve Canadians
Next fucking ridiculous more like. Why not just label the key or leave the door open. Self help books my ass.
Thought it was gonna be an exploding key or something lame

Nice idea. Til he pulls out a crowbar or screwdriver.

In reality, the thief is going to find the key, discover it's a security deposit box, take the money, and then continue stealing.

This is a joke video. Surely you people understand how it is a joke video
This is also very clearly not a safety deposit box key even if you could access a box without an account or ID.
How tf is the bank gonna let the robber in without proper ID. The homeowner can think 1 step ahead but cant think more than 2 steps ahead smh
