People around the world have queued for days to get their hands on Apple's new iPhone 5.
So if you saw one just lying on the floor would you pick it up? If a video made by a team of Dutch pranksters is anything to go by the answer is yes.
The coveted smartphone does not go on sale in the Netherlands until Friday, but the boys at iPhone5.nl somehow got their hands on one ahead of the release.

The decided to stick the model to a pavement in the Leidseplein, one of Amsterdam's busiest squares, with super glue and set up a video camera to capture the results.
The iPhone's shiny casing was something of a beacon to passers by. Most attempted to pick the handset up before realising it was glued to the floor and hurrying off red faced and giggling.
Others spotted the phone and looked around shiftily before casually reaching down to scoop it from the concrete.

Some got angry, kicking the phone in an attempt to release it from the pavement. One girl even stamped and jumped on the handset.
At least the rather amusing experiment proves one thing: the new model is certainly durable - even if the battery life is still a bit iffy.
