Bigfoot tracks down humans who stole his friend's chain from @bigfootboyz

The creator, dressed as a Bigfoot, films a vlog-style skit with a Yeti companion. They believe they are being tracked by humans after finding evidence on a phone, including a picture of their friend Fred's stolen chain. They follow clues like shoe prints and empty Zyn cans, eventually find the humans' Subaru, retrieve the stolen 'FRED' chain from inside, and then steal the car to make their getaway.

Transcript excerpt

Alright, boys. I think the locals are on to us. Fred saw a Subaru with binoculars in the cup holder. Whoever's in that Subaru had this around their neck. That's Fred's chain. I swear. Based on nothing, I'm 90% sure he went that way. I good smell cool mint zen and Mountain Dew. He's close. Get down, boy. Boys, we just found New Balance tracks in a zen. Tread's still fresh. They're close. Oh, boy. There they are. Get down. Boys, I think they ditched the car. They got rid of their empty Zincans literally right here. I'm so down bad. It's right over there, boys. If Fred's chain is in there, we making that our getaway vehicle too. I ain't walking back to the crib. Boy, it was actually in there? They was rocking Fred Drip like it was their grandma's. Hopefully, they aren't watching us right now. This car is trash. Tier, we better get out of here. Drop a 100 emoji if you made it this far. Bigfoot boys out.
