Woman caught on CCTV 'stealing' Christmas gift from doorstep
A Queensland man has shared video online that shows a woman allegedly stealing a parcel containing a Christmas present from his front doorstep.
Matthew Eggins shared a number of videos and pictures to Facebook on Monday following the alleged incident at Bellbird Park in Ipswich.
“The grinch visited our house this afternoon,” Mr Eggins wrote, claiming the woman took a gift for his son which had been ordered from the United States.
“It was the only present that he really wanted,” Mr Eggins told Yahoo7.
The father said he knew the delivery driver had dropped the parcel off earlier in the day because of his front door motion camera.
“As soon as something gets near the front door I get a push notification and it was the delivery guy dropping it off,” he recalled.
But when he got home he asked his wife if she had picked up the parcel.
She said she hadn’t, so they looked at their security footage and were shocked by what they discovered.
“Before pulling up to take the parcel she was seen driving past a couple of times,” Mr Eggins claims.
Mr Eggins said he wanted to share the footage to make sure people are vigilant and rethink their delivery options closer to Christmas.
“It’s a nice safe, brand new developed suburb but obviously it can happen anywhere,” he said.
One of Mr Eggins’ posts about the alleged incident has been shared close to 550 times.
