Package thief tricked into stealing box full of dog poo

After falling victim to thieves who stole packages off of their front porch several times, a Northeast Washington D.C. couple decided to teach them a lesson.
At about 3pm on Friday, surveillance footage caught a man walking up and down in front of their home, before stealing their package and taking off. The caught-on-camera incident marked the third package taken from their yard since October. “Obviously, it made me really mad,” said the woman, who is not being identified.
“I worked hard, saved my money, bought something and then it was just gone.” Angry, she and her boyfriend decided to place a fake package outside, and to move the camera so they could get a better angle if the robber hit again. He did on Monday, but this time, he got away with a box filled with dog feces.

“I had originally wanted to put a note in the box that said, ‘Surprise!’” the woman said. Others in the neighborhood laughed when they heard what the couple had done. The homeowners said they saw a white pick-up truck passing by in both videos. They have filed a police report and will now be handling the delivery of their packages differently.
