A video on TikTok went viral after University of Texas (Hook 'em!) student Ethan Pham attempted to find out who was stealing his food deliveries from his dorm.
The student Ethan Pham revealed it all started when someone took his Chipotle delivery from outside his dorm room back in January.
He shared:
"I want to find out who it is, but I also want to get revenge."
He decided to place a fake Chipotle delivery order on the dorm's food delivery rack with a surprise inside for the thief. First, he placed a picture of Steven Spielberg behind a camera with the words "caught your a** is 4K b*tch." He also filled the Chipotle bowl with only vegetables with a sticky note that read, "EAT YOUR VEGGIES."
You can see the plan in action below.
Viewers of the video - which has been seen more than 1.6 million times - said that he was too kind to provide vegetables for the food thief.

In a follow-up video, Pham revealed that the Chipotle bag was stolen within the first couple of hours, but he still didn't know the identity of the thief.
So, he gave it another go. This time, he took his followers' advice and filled a Chick-fil-a bag full of garbage with a note that said "When someone steals your trash."
He also shared that he's working on a plan to catch the thief, but for now, he just wants to "troll them a little bit so they can stop stealing people's food."
Viewers of the update shared their own hilarious strategies with Pham, listing everything from a good old-fashioned stake-out to AirTagging the takeout bags.

Pham hasn't given inquiring minds an update yet, but we bet the culprit learned a lesson with that last bag!
