A COMEDIAN on a visit to Clydebank was left stunned after discovering steaks locked up in a supermarket.
In a video now gone viral, Mark Dallas from Maryhill, took a stroll into Iceland at Clyde Shopping Centre when he stumbled across some 'succulent sirloin steaks' in contraptions similar to 'incubators.'
Flabergasted by his bizarre discovery, Mark, who is a digital content creator and was in the area visiting his dad, whipped out his phone and started recording.
The video posted two weeks ago has now been viewed by more than 200,000 people on Facebook after being picked up by national pages such as 'Scottish Banter'.
Mark starts the clip by saying "Tell me you're in Clydebank, without telling me you're in Clydebank."
He then turns the camera around to the steaks in their security box, which were priced at £6.50, and said "Look at the state of that."
Mark spoke with the Post about his discovery, explaining that he was just out for an early morning walk when he stumbled across the not-so-well-done display.
He said: "As you can tell by my hair looking like a burst couch - it was first thing in the morning.
"I was just buying in bulk in Iceland because everybody loves buying 40 steaks in one bag.
"I was walking through the shop and I did a double take as I noticed the steaks looking like they were on life support and in an incubator.
"I thought 'I'll need to grab a video about that' and it quickly went viral and ended up on some of the Scottish pages.
"Sometimes when I do videos it's sketches and they are thought of and other times I just notice in the moment and I film something right there and then.
"I couldn't believe the size of the boxes, they were like incubators."
Getting to the meat of the matter, Mark says he was in fact recently pondering about steak theft.
He added: "You don't really see very often guys going about pubs selling steaks and that must be why, because they are in these security contraptions and GPS tracking.
"The funny thing was, a couple of days before, I was with my dad in a pub on Dumbarton Road and we actually said 'you don't really see anybody coming to the pubs anymore with bags of meat and cheese'. I wondered why that was.
"After it, I was laughing to myself, thinking about how they had a GPS tracker and I just couldn't stop thinking about somebody somehow managing to get a steak out of it, like a Clydebank steak bandit and G4S and the Iceland 'A team' hunting them down in Clydebank."
