# Bad Kleptomaniac High Jinks Jack Vale Loudly Asks Siri 'How to Steal a Purse' for This Prank By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-03-25 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-steal-a-purse References: [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNDnlwS2lwE&list=UUsDl6A77CrbkSJLtxQFVDGw) If you’re feeling extra ballsy on April Fool’s Day, Jack Vale’s 'How to Steal a Purse' prank might be the perfect gag for you to try out in public. In the video, Jack the prankster doesn’t actually go after anybody’s [personal belongings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolut-street-mode), but he makes it look like he has every intent to. Vale poses as a novice bag stealer and the premise of the hilarious prank is pretty much spelled out in the first few seconds, where he walks by a mall security guard and loudly asks Siri how to [steal a purse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstealable-chocolate). Vale does this with several other items, making it extremely obvious when he loudly asks Siri "how to steal sunglasses off of a man’s head," as he walks by a man wearing sunglasses on his head. People give the wannabe criminal some wary looks, but nobody really seems threatened. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Pranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/pranks) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Prank Videos:** Creating elaborate pranks and filming them for social media can lead to viral content and increased followers. - **Humor-based Marketing:** Humor-based marketing can generate brand awareness and customer engagement. - **Public Perception Manipulation:** The use of staged scenarios can manipulate public perception of products or ideas. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Social Media:** Prank videos can attract high traffic to social media platforms, providing ample advertising opportunities for brands. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Humor-based marketing campaigns can be effective in generating positive brand recognition and increasing consumer loyalty. - **Film and Television Production:** The creation of high-quality prank videos can lead to lucrative opportunities in film and TV production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lens-Cleaning Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microfiber-collection.md) - [AI Prank Calls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prankify-ai.md) - [Mobile Game Release Pranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palworld-go.md) - [Invisible Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invsbal.md) - [Clapping Missing Device Locators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antilost-clap-to-find-phone.md) - [Sensorial Horror-Inspired Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prank-pack.md) - [Halloween Juice Prank Editions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-trick-treat-pouches.md) - [Pocket-Sized Safety Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaze.md) - [Candy-Hiding Trick-or-Treat Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trickortreat-bag.md)
