Every day, thousands of tourists try to find the best possible view of the Hollywood Sign. Or, if you're YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, you climb on top of it.
Zdorovetskiy climbed atop the 45-foot-tall "D" on Wednesday evening and began waving a flag that said "I'm back," attracting seemingly every airborne helicopter in the process.

According to NBC, Zdorovetskiy climbed up the sign, not-so-gracefully dropped the flag and climbed back up again. He was soon after spotted down just below the sign, where the LAPD exchanged what we can only assume were kind words with him. Also, considering that Zdorovetskiy runs a YouTube channel filled with nothing but pranks, we wouldn't be surprised if the phrase "pranked, bro!" popped up at some point.

It's not clear yet why exactly Zdorovetskiy was there, but he did tweet a small hint the day before.
