Clearly, the humoured woman caught her husband at a bad time. He was covered in suds and had a towel wrapped around the lower half of his body as he chased her around the house for his prized possession.

"Let me open the gate. I'm going outside. Follow me."

While speaking to Briefly News, relationship expert Kelley Nele shared insights on the importance of boundaries and trust in a relationship, saying:

"On the surface this may appear to be a prank. While somewhat humorous, the woman may be using humour as way to uncover or deal with feelings of mistrust in the relationship that stem from the “stolen” phone.

The “prank” as well as the man’s reaction are both red flags, indicative of infidelity and mistrust."
