Human beings are tool-users. Unlike the vast majority of other species on Earth, we take pieces of the world around us, and transform them for our own use.
That's usually something to be proud of.
But, as this viral video sweeping Chinese video-sharing sites makes clear, even the simplest of tools can be put to ill purposes. Chopsticks are versatile at picking up everything from grains of rice to shrimp dumplings—not to mention wallets and credit cards.
No one knows how common this chopstick-pickpocketing is, but travelers take heed: pay more attention to nearby noodle-eaters.
