Criminal mastermind ant orchestrates tiny jewel heist

This might be the world’s tiniest jewel thief.

It’s a cheeky ant, who clearly has expensive taste.

The little bandit was spotted making off with the sparkly stone, starring in footage that absolutely warrants the playing of the Pink Panther theme in the background.

In fact, play this and then replay the video – it’s excellent.

The clip obviously went viral, appearing on social media and one extremely pun-heavy Reddit post.

“Antics,” one Redditor said.

“Was Anticipating that pun,” another chimed in.

“I guess he's the ant-agonist of this story,” another said.

And, yes, there were plenty of “Ant Man goes rogue” comments.

The clip cuts out before we see the ant get away, but we’re going to assume it was apprehended before it reached the getaway van we assume was waiting outside.

It is unknown if any charges have been laid at this time.
