Washington Christmas Thief Caught Stealing Holiday Delivery Packages (VIDEO)

While the neighborhood thief of Bothell, Wash. has yet to be identified, she has been caught on surveillance video swiping delivery packages during the holiday season, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reports.

"I was expecting a package that we ordered on Amazon and I went, 'Wait, the package should have been delivered already,'" local resident Dandy Weyn told the news station. When Weyn turned to his front door surveillance camera, a Logitech Alert system, he saw that many of his packages had been delivered on Dec. 18, but about an hour later, a woman driving a blue Mitsubishi SUV was seen quickly running over and snatching one his packages.

As it turns out, she managed to steal $140 worth of fliers and not anything of great value.

"I didn't believe it. I go, like, 'Wow. I mean, why would somebody do that and not even see a security camera up there?" Weyn said.

When he asked his neighbors, he discovered that he wasn't the only one missing packages.

"I assumed it was a mix up in the delivery until I started hearing that it was happening to other people," neighbor Sandy Madan, whose Groupon delivery was stolen earlier this month, told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

Weyn has a plan on how to possibly catch the thief in the act, and has even taken to Twitter to circulate the mystery woman's image.

"I'm actually planning on a box out, the box is there but I haven't done it yet, and just put a tracking device in so you can capture where they're going," he said to the news station.
