A man in Xiamen, China, surnamed Xu, was arrested in April 2024 for stealing approximately $10,500 from his former colleague, surnamed Yang. Xu was motivated by envy after seeing a video posted online by Yang flaunting his cash savings. Knowing Yang kept cash at home, Xu disguised himself as a woman by wearing a wig, skirt, and stockings to avoid recognition. He then took a taxi to Yang's residence, gained entry by finding a hidden key in a shoe cabinet, and stole the money. Police apprehended Xu after reviewing surveillance footage from Yang's home. The Huli District People’s Procuratorate is handling the residential theft case.
