'Never without my handbag': Woman jumps on X-ray machine to 'protect' her bag from 'theft'

A woman in China went as far as inside an X-ray machine to keep her handbag safe.

An online video shared by the China media site PearVideo showed images of a skeleton wearing high heels on all fours riding a conveyer belt.

According to the PearVideo post, she wanted to protect her bag from theft.

The photos were reportedly from a security video captured on Sunday at the Dongguan Railway Station.

The security staff was left so speechless that they did not stop her as she collected her bags and rushed to get her train.

Meanwhile, Dongguan Railway Station staff has advised passengers not to ride the X-ray machines as the radiation given off by the scanners can be harmful.
