The competition on Vine is insane because it appears so easy. Constantly upload funny clips that are only six seconds in length and you can become a new media star.

Naturally, he was caught because he decided it would be a good idea to upload the footage of said heist to YouTube, Facebook and Vine. Along with his other petty malfeasances.
