An “incredibly stupid” woman was caught stealing an orange and blue Knicks trash can in New York City in a wild viral that is taking social media by storm.
The woman – who is decked out in an orange hat, blue New York Knicks shirt and jean shorts – is seen dumping a mountain of trash from the bin onto the sidewalk and marching away with the can as shocked onlookers looked on.
She joins another person dressed in Knicks gear before the video ends. It is unclear whether the two were together.
“They will be listed on Facebook Marketplace tonight as ‘Rare Vintage Knicks Memorabilia’ for $450. Honestly, trying to drag a giant public trash bin to the MTA during rush hour is the highest commitment in New York,” an X user commented on the video.
“Girl this is theft lol,” another X user wrote.
It was not clear when the dirty deed took place. DSNY and clothing brand Only NY teamed up to release the hand-painted mesh wire trash cans to celebrate the Knicks NBA championship ahead of Thursday’s ticker-tape parade.
“Dumping trash on the street and stealing public property for your own personal use are both illegal and antisocial behavior, and not what New Yorkers do. Plus, doing both on camera is incredibly stupid,” the New York City Department of Sanitation told The Post in a statement about the clip.
The NYPD said they have received no complaints about the incident and had no comment on any investigation.
After the bins were announced, there was widespread speculation online that they would soon be stolen by avid fans wanting to own a piece of history.
“Streets are about to be filled with trash as this is all 100% stolen,” wrote a user on X on Thursday in a now prophetic post.
This isn’t the first time a Knicks fan has been caught behaving badly after the Knicks took home the NBA title.

The displaced woman then pulled down her opponent’s pants, exposing her orange Knicks thong, and repeatedly slapped her buttocks while shaking.
On the night of the Knicks’ big win – the team’s first championship in 53 years – the streets of New York erupted into chaos and disorder.
There were 63 arrests, four stabbings and one shooting, with ten NYPD officers injured in the chaos that followed the Knicks’ historic victory.
