WASHINGTON (WJLA) – After falling victim to thieves who swiped packages off of their front porch several times, a Northeast D.C. couple decided to teach them a lesson.
Tis the season for package thieves; many D.C.-area residents have recently caught robbers taking packages on surveillance. But for one couple, caught on camera wasn’t enough—they boxed up a stinky surprise from their two dogs.
About 3 p.m. Friday, surveillance footage shows a man walking up and down the sidewalk 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, whom ABC 7 is not identifying. “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! Please stop stealing my crap,’” the woman said.
Others in the neighborhood laughed when they heard what the couple had done.
“I think he deserves it,” one woman said.
“You get what you deserve,” one man said. “What goes around comes around.”
Another man added, “I bet you that’s the last time he stole from them, right?”
That remains to be seen, but now the robber’s face is on television. The homeowners said they saw a white pickup truck passing by in both videos. They filed a police report and will be handling the delivery of their packages differently.

Is it illegal to own C4? (I really don’t know.) If not, then it shouldn’t be illegal to store it on your porch in a box.
Heh, I did the same with catbox droppings from three large cats, scoopable includes large lumps of absorbed urine as well. Put a note inside that says there is an RFID tracker inside and that the police are probably on the way just to try to get them to dig through it.
I don't get your point here. What is unusual about a girl having a boyfriend?
What do you put in the bottle for a Yoo-hoo thief?
No such thing as wife or husband anymore.
That gives the thief a “CRAPPY” Holiday.
Urban legend has it that during one of Manhattan’s garbage strikes, you could dispose of our trash by gift wrapping it and leaving it in view in an unlocked car or on a stoop.
Many years ago I witnessed the same type of thing in Milwaukee....this time the target of the thieves left a nice package of cookies from grandma via ups on their porch....the cookies, however were were laced with ex-lax and probably kept the thieves “on the move” for some time!!!
I wonder if that would fall under “return postage guaranteed”?
As I recall, pig poo is by far the worst!
