A prankster hired a removalist for a very bizarre job… his unexpected response stunned Aussies
A removalist has won the hearts of Aussies after offering his house to a prankster who had been impersonating a homeless person.
Australian pranksters 'Misfit Minds' had organised a stunt 'to hire handymen to just do the most mundane jobs ever'.
Member Will Woods decided to pose as a homeless person who had been living in a Melbourne park and needed help to move his tent metres down the road.
Woods hired Saresa Removals before Safua Tagiaia and his crew turned up appearing to have no idea they had been called for the menial task.
'We've gotta move the whole house. Thanks for helping me with that,' Woods said.
Mr Tagiaia appeared confused and pointed at a house on the street.
'So this whole house here?'
The prankster then turned around and pointed to his tent and boxes sitting on the edge of the park.
'No, no, no. This one here.'
Mr Tagiaia obliged and help to pack the tent and boxes onto the back of the truck before he offered to give Woods a lift to the new location.
'It's literally just down the road,' Woods said.
Mr Tagiaia and his crew drove the truck at a snail's pace as they followed Woods metres down the road.
They then unloaded the truck and even helped to set up the tent before Mr Tagiaia turned to Woods and made him a surprise offer.
'If you need a house to stay in, come and stay with me for a week,' he said.
'You can wait for when you can stand on your feet again.'
Footage of the heartwarming encounter was shared to the Misfit Minds' social media pages including TikTok.

Aussies immediately jumped in to praise Mr Tagiaia for making such a generous offer to a stranger.
'They pranked the wrong bloke, that guy had a heart of gold,' one said.
'Safua seemed like a kind hearted man, even asking you if you needed socks,' another wrote.
'Safua is a legend. No judgements. Offers a clearly, very, very disturbed young man a house for a week or whatever,' a third added.
Aussies managed to track down the TikTok account of the company to heap more praise on the crew.
'You have got a heart of gold Safua,' one wrote.
'The world needs more people like you, your kindness made me smile and brightened my afternoon,' another said.
'Safua, the top man in Australia,' a third wrote.
The company said it had not been aware of the recording until 'loyal customers and friends' shared the video with them.
'This is what we do; we help our community and those who need our help. We don't promise you anything but we act and prove to you that we can take care of you moving needs,' they wrote.
