Canadian resident Alex Byron shared a video on TikTok, explaining why he leaves a key under the rug by the front door and how he hopes to influence the lives of potential robbers, according to Bored Panda.. The video quickly gained popularity on the platform: it was watched by more than 15 million people. Alex explains that he wanted to inspire TikTok users with his example..

In the Vancouver area where the man lives, thefts often happen, but instead of installing a new security system, Alex began to leave the key at the entrance. It disappears about every six months, which means that someone regularly tries to enter the home. The key does not fit on any door in the house.. Alex hopes that the moment the criminal realizes that he cannot steal anything, he will experience not only disappointment, but also reflect on his life.

Each key has a unique number, thanks to which you can open a safe deposit box at West End Vancity Bank in Vancouver. Alex left a small amount of money there in advance to help the criminal start from scratch.. “Most likely, no one will dare to use the key, but in the near future I plan to organize a new game, within which people can find various valuable things,” says the author of the video, quoted by birdinflight.
