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.

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."

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.
