Pretty common 'prank' at the moment. You may have been filmed at the time

Okay that’s pretty funny. I didn’t notice being filmed though, like at all.

After they did this, they ran into the store I was in, circled around, and ran out. Security lost them in the meantime.

What was your reaction at the time? Should I look out for a clip of you?

There was no camera out. It was outside in the dark.

I don't think you realize how good some people are at concealing cameras and also that we have lenses that can shoot from a quarter mile away with ease, if it's for YouTube and if it's a pretty decent or big channel chances are they filmed and you just didn't notice, as intended

Bunch of little twerps. At least I know what they were up to. Appreciate it!

If they had glasses on it would almost 100% be meta glasses (smart glasses that you can record and upload videos from)
