In an unusual incident, the Turkish city of Kayseri witnessed a non-traditional jewelry store heist. The thief used a forklift to quickly empty the store's display window before making a getaway. However, the thief's unconventional method was not matched by his escape plan, which was extremely primitive. While police were reviewing surveillance camera footage, they discovered a bizarre and unexpected scene: the thief was escaping on the back of a donkey, which surprised observers and amused some. However, this strange plan failed, as police were able to easily and quickly locate and arrest the man, who was the only person in the area riding a donkey.
