The video appears to have been filmed by a curious passerby. Using her phone’s video camera, she captured a group of construction workers who had also captured something — a would-be thief.

Judging by the conversation that occurred between the alleged thief and his captors, an incident had recently occurred during the which the workers busted the dude as he was in the middle of stealing some pricey tools from one of the builders’ tool boxes.

The builders tied him up and called the cops.

He clearly regretted some of his choices.
