It\u2019s back to school season and on TikTok, that means students are inexplicably stealing everything that isn\u2019t bolted down.<\/p>\n

The latest TikTok trend to generally wreak social havoc sees students pulling off \u201cdevious licks\u201d \u2014 small-scale heists of everything from soap dispensers, Covid test kits and hand sanitizer to high value items like classroom tech.<\/p>\n

The videos are set to an edited version of Lil B\u2019s \u201cSki Ski BasedGod,\u201d which had appeared in around 100,000 videos on TikTok by Monday, according to Mashable<\/a>, with the tag #deviouslick collecting more than 175 million views.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TikTok cracked down on Wednesday, limiting search results for the viral stunt, removing videos with the tag and encouraging users to \u201cplease be kind\u201d to teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect our community to stay safe and create responsibly, and we do not allow content that promotes or enables criminal activities,\u201d a TikTok spokesperson told TechCrunch. \u201cWe are removing this content and redirecting hashtags and search results to our Community Guidelines to discourage such behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s hard to know which videos are staged and which are legitimate, the trend is real enough to have teachers and parents across the country stressed out. At a middle school in Las Vegas<\/a>, school administrators report students swiping speed limit signs, fire alarms, soap dispensers and classroom projectors. And in Portland, Oregon at least one high school saw an entire building\u2019s worth of soap dispensers go missing \u2014 not a great start to another school year in the throes of a global pandemic.<\/p>\n
