This was the bizarre moment when two men in the UK used a knife to cut open fly-tipped sofas to take the stuffing from inside.<br /><br />The men, who were loading an Uber Toyota Prius to the brim, were caught in action under a railway bridge on Musgrave road in Birmingham, UK.<br /><br />They managed to stuff over 12 sections of the filling material taken from leather couches into the taxi before driving off.<br /><br />"It is totally surreal," said the filmer, Sam Holiday.<br /><br />"I wonder if they are going to reuse them in 'new' sofas unbeknownst to the buyers of they're long and previous past," he added.<br /><br />The strange scene comes as fly-tipping is at a record high due to the difficulties home owners have in long waiting times at local recycling centres or are unable to leave their homes due to COVID-19 lockdown.
