A viral video in Syria shows a man giving money to a woman begging outside a mosque, only to steal a nearby motorbike moments later. The footage, which quickly gained traction on social media, sparked a range of reactions online. Some users humorously compared the man to Robin Hood, the legendary figure known for stealing from the rich to give to the poor.

The video also inspired humorous interpretations, with some users speculating the man may have sought good fortune with the small donation before his theft.
