Hidden Camera Prank on Motel Housekeeper Goes Terribly Right With $500 Tip (VIDEO)

In another of a rash of YouTube pranks we can get behind, the instigators hide a camera to film an unsuspecting housekeeper at a Park City, Utah motel. With the Sundance Film Festival in town, the motel was looking for more help, and the young woman filled in when she needed a place to stay. According to her manager, she's doing a great job.

While the hidden cameras roll, the housekeeper pulls back the sheets of a bed and freezes in shock. As we're shown in advance, what she sees is $500 in 20s fanned out on the bed with a note that reads "This is a tip! Enjoy!"

The creators of the prank are GiveBackFilms, a team of YouTube filmmakers who surprise people with random acts of kindness. When the young woman spots them filming from a car outside, they meet.

"I cannot accept this. You have to take it back," she says as they enter the room. The GiveBackFilms team of course denies her, and everyone comes out of this prank a winner.
