Cameras captured shocking footage of a man pleasuring himself in the dressing room of a Las Vegas comedy club after allegedly stealing items of clothing that belonged to resident performer Murray the Magician.
The black and white surveillance video shows the man walking into the dressing room at the Laugh Factory, inside the Tropicana Hotel where he casually helped himself to a shirt, a pair of pants and a hat off the rack, according to footage posted by TMZ. He can be seen attempting to conceal the stolen goods underneath his own clothes and walking out of the camera’s view. Video timestamps indicate that the alleged theft took place on Aug. 25. Four days later, the man returned to the very same space and began masturbating on the couch.
There was another person in the dressing room when the culprit stole the magician’s costume but that person didn’t seem to notice that the thief didn’t belong there, according to TMZ. A police report was later filed indicating that the man who stole the items of clothing returned a few days later — at around 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 29 according to timestamps — in the company of another individual and seemed to be scoping out the area, TMZ(RELATED: New Jersey Kids Could Be Taught Puberty Blockers Are OK, Frequent Masturbation Is ‘Healthy’)
The thief then returned to the room less than 30 minutes later and wasted no time at all slipping his pants down before he sat on the couch and proceeded to masturbate. A puff of smoke was visible, indicating he was smoking or vaping during his onanistic escapade. He does not appear to have stolen anything during that most recent visit, according to the video.
Murray the Magician and his comedy club colleagues said did not recognize the masturbating thief, who remains on the loose, according to TMZ.
