It happened in Southlake, near Dallas, Texas, US.
The Southlake Department of Public Safety recommended that locals put up security cameras outside their homes.
A spokesperson said: “When you leave out deliveries for a while, you always risk the chance that a sneaky porch pirate might waltz up to your door and gank your stuff.
“Often, the thief is human.
“But once in a while, a different sort of greedy little poacher comes by.
Local, Jenilee said: “I find it highly impossumble (sic) that they’d do this. They were framed.”

“Best day of his life. Tiff’s Treats are the best”
