A crow in Malaysia has been caught on camera doing what some might call the ultimate “duit terbang” moment—stealing RM50 straight from an unsuspecting victim.
Caught in 4K
A viral TikTok video posted by user @zarulman4 shows a sneaky crow casually snatching a RM50 note from an unattended bag.
The video instantly blew up, with Malaysians losing it over how the bird pulled off the perfect daylight robbery.
The clip shows the crow strutting around like it owns the place before making a swift grab for the money.

Netizens were quick to react, with one joking, “This is what you call money flying away for real”, while another said, “Crows these days are more financially stable than me”.
Some users speculated that the crow might actually be trained to steal money, referencing cases in China where birds have been taught to collect cash for their owners.
One comment read, “This bird definitely has an owner. In China, people train crows to collect money and stash it at home”.
However, @zarulman4 later confirmed that he managed to recover his money after the crow abandoned it at a nearby shelter. Guess even birds have second thoughts about their life choices.
Is this a one-bird crime syndicate?
This isn’t the first time a crow has been caught in a money heist. Some netizens pointed out that similar incidents have happened before, including a woman in KL who recently lost RM20 to a crow in an eerily similar fashion.
So, keep a tighter grip on your cash—or risk getting out-hustled by a feathery pickpocket.
