WASHINGTON, DC - A woman says she was really fed up with crooks stealing her packages on her front step while she was work.
She gave the alleged crook a special delivery, a box full of dog poop and the thieves scooped it up.
Andrea Hutzler, 33, said frustration overload pushed her to a point where she no longer wanted to be a victim and felt the crooks should get a taste of their own medicine.
She tried calling the cops, and even putting up a camera, but her stuff was still being swiped.
Hutzler trained a camera on the front step of her home near K Street NE after she had three packages stolen in two months.
Thieves took Christmas gifts, clothing, and even three 6-foot aluminum poles she planned to use in remodeling. The federal employee estimates that $858 worth of goods were taken from her home.
So, Hutzler got revenge Monday by putting out a "dummy" box full of poop from her two dogs.
"I feel happy," she said. "I had wanted to put in a note, like 'Surprise! Please stop stealing my crap.'"
Video put on YouTube and then shared by Popville shows a man walking up to a house, grabbing a package and quickly walking away. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the man opening the box.
Police distributed video yesterday afternoon that shows a man swiping a package from an 8th Street NE home.
Hutzler said she hopes police can use the videos to catch the offender. In the meantime, she's sending her packages to her friends' houses.
