Video of a woman stealing a flat screen by putting under her dress, between her legs, is going viral, perhaps for her dexterity.

The crime happened in Costa Rica last November but was just posted to YouTube over the weekend with a request for help identifying the woman.

According to the posting by the Organization of Judicial Investigation (OIJ), security cameras captured the woman and an accomplice at an appliance store in downtown Guapiles, in eastern Costa Rica, on Nov. 11.

Only 13 seconds elapsed between the time the women walk into the store until the one woman walks about with the flat screen between her legs.

The woman is being referred to in the local press as the "swallower of televisions."
