Comedian and actor Michael Rapaport had a firsthand experience with a shoplifter who brazenly stole hundreds of dollars’ worth of merchandise from a Rite-Aid in New York City.

"I can’t believe I’m seeing this sh*t," said Rapaport, who is known for his vitriolic criticism of former President Donald Trump but has been an outspoken opponent of the "defund the police" movement.

"This f*cking guy just filled his two bags up with everything in Rite Aid, right here on 80th [Street] and First Avenue is walking down the street like sh*t is Gucci. I was watching him the whole time," said Rapaport in his now-viral video.

The thief can be seen carrying multiple bags as he eyeballs Rapaport and walks by a security guard without a care in the world, leaving the store with hundreds of dollars of stolen merchandise. The shoplifter was masked in keeping with Governor Hochul's state-wide mask mandate.

"Looking me in my face like 'what’s good?'" Rapaport claims. "My man just went Christmas shopping in January. He had the condoms, the shampoo."

The comedian repeated his remarks in a tweet to New York City mayor Eric Adams, who has vowed to slash crime in the city since taking office.

"Duke just went CHRISTMAS SHOPPING at @riteaid," Rapaport wrote. "I’m TRIPPING this happened in broad day like it was nothing."

The actor noted that the store where the crime occurred is set to close its doors on Feb. 15 due to the high rate of shoplifting. The actor opined that many workers are now being left jobless as a result of the closure.

As previously reported by The Post Millennial, shoplifters have become more brazen all across the country, sometimes stealing thousands of dollars in jewelry, luxury bags, TVs and high-end electronics and strolling right out of stores.

Stores in San Francisco have been forced to shutter their operations due to organized retail theft.

Last July, a pharmacy worker was murdered in Los Angeles while trying to deter shoplifters from walking away with stolen merchandise.
