'Helpless' victim even told him the pizza tastes good

In a video providing a real-life example of the old cliche 'no honour among thieves', an iguana that stole a pizza from a table at an eatery in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, was almost robbed moments later by a fellow iguana.
The large lizard with a taste for Italian food climbs onto a table and attempts to snatch a slice from on top of a serving paper, but a piece breaks off. Possibly feeling threatened, the man who bought the pizza tells the robber that he is welcome to take the pizza, even commenting on the flavour. "Have it...Its very good actually," he says.
The victim then notices that the iguana came with other members of his gang.
He then eats the broken piece before taking the rest of the slice and jumping off the table, where a fellow iguana notices the unattended piece and moves towards it. But Pizza Iguana makes a quick move and scurries off with his stolen loot, climbing a wall and making a clean getaway, while his hungry companions, and his victim, are left to watch.
