Bet you didn't see this one coming.

An unidentified woman in China was caught in the act of faking her own parking spot on another driver's dashcam, while exiting the dubious-looking lot on a busy street.

Driving closer to see what exactly she was up to, the passengers in the car can be heard exclaiming in surprise when the woman drives off the lot, gets out of her car and begins to roll up two makeshift grey mats painted with lines to look like a rectangular box.

The woman looked sheepish to have been found out and quickly makes her getaway, but not without removing her homemade parking sign that she had hung up on the lamp post by her makeshift lot.

She gets top marks for pulling a fast one on us all.
