A security camera at a Texas home captured the moment a box of cookies delivered to the front door was stolen by an unlikely porch pirate -- an opossum.

The Southlake Department of Public Safety said a local resident identified only as Dr. M shared his security camera footage after the theft.

Dr. M's son, who was celebrating his 15th birthday, had been given some Tiff's Treats cookies by a family friend, and the delivery was left on the family's front step.

The son later discovered the balloon left by the delivery worker, as well as a bag of icing, but the box of cookies was found empty in the family's side yard.

The security camera footage revealed the thief was an opossum that made off with the unattended treats.

The department recommended residents follow Dr. M's example and use security cameras to "go marsupi-all in on protecting your home from thieves."

Does this journalist really think it’s unlikely that animals would steal food that was left outside? Cute video though.

i guess if you live in a bughive pod then you never encounter possums,racoons,and wild dogs stealing food.

Now that would be fucking hilarious, a dog or any other animal just sniffs and chews on a box and the BOOM, they’ve been beautified.

 

[Odd Opossum]

I'm not sorry.

 

[oldTireWater]

The real surprise is that it beat the raccoons to it. It's like finding out the robber was white.

Now this is the kind of news I like to see!!

Why would you turn over this security cam footage to your local police?

Unless you hadn't watched it yourself or had already called in a complaint.

Or maybe they filed a police report to file an insurance/lost item claim.

This wouldn't happen in Trump's America.

my guess is either they didnt watch it before filing a report, or they needed to file it to claim a lost package on the cookies. otherwise, yeah, makes no sense to hand that to the police.

Not likely. It's just a fun story to break from all the political junk and people being murdered. Cities actually have quite a few of these creatures running around.

Because there's a criminal running around stealing cookies! They must be brought to justice

Little guy was promised a cookie if he ate at least 100 ticks. He ate 5,000.
