The video shows a thief jumping out of a white car and running across the lawn. He grabs a package outside a home before running back to his getaway car, with the homeowner just yards behind him.
The man whose parcel was nearly stolen told Claycord: “My daughter said someone is running up to the house, I ran out and realised he was stealing something and chased him to the car.”
In the ensuing panic and confusion, the crook drops the parcel just before jumping into the car. But as it pulls away, the homeowner reaches into the car’s open window and grabs a bag off the man’s female accomplice.
“I reached into the window and tried to stop them, he didn’t care that I had her arm and when he started to drive off, I saw her purse and grabbed it with hopes there was ID and turned it in to the police,” the homeowner explained.
Hopefully, his quick reaction might make this parcel thief think twice about attempting this kind of crime in the future. Watch the action for yourself below:
