A bungling thief was arrested after he raided a supermarket that was full of cops who were out enjoying an event.
The man who police called Brad was arrested at a St Cloud Walmart in Florida, US, after trying to steal items from the store.
But he had no idea that 40 officers were inside as part of a "Shop with a Cop" event at the same time.
"Seriously we just can't make this up," the department posted on Facebook.
"Brad decided to steal from our good neighbors and partners at Walmart in St. Cloud while we were conducting the Shop With a Cop event with the children of our community. Bad news, Brad!"
The post said the store was "full of deputies, almost 40, beside the forensics team, the community services team, the CSOs, the OCSO Majors, and Sheriff Marcos R. Lopez. Bad idea, Brad", Fox News reports.
The deputies were gathered inside the store as part of an event that involves police officers shopping with children for the festive holidays.
The department posted a photo of "Brad" that showed him with his hands cuffed behind his back and his pockets inside out after his ill-judged move.
Also included in the Facebook post were photos of items associated with Brad including a bottle of perfume, gloves, what appeared to be hedge clippers, a syringe, and a container with a plastic bag holding a number of other items.
